Zucchini Fritters
Description
An old-fashioned Lebanese fritter and a comfort meal that I grew up eating – great for gatherings … soft in the middle with crispy bits on the edges
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- ⅓ cup flour
- 900 g./2 lb. zucchini roughly grated
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of freshly grated black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Canola oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Sprinkle the salt over the grated zucchini. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- Squeeze the zucchini strands ridding it from excess water (the more you squeeze the better the result).
- Place the squeezed zucchini in a bowl. Add the eggs, flour, onion, baking powder, baking soda, and black pepper.
- Whisk to homogenize the mixture.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan to an adequate frying temperature.
- Working in batches, drop the batter into the saucepan using an ice cream scooper (one scoop for each fritter).
- Cook turning the fritters until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm!!
