GREEK ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
These zucchini fritters are based on a recipe I learned from the cookbook author Diane Kochilas. A classic mezze served in Greek taverna, they're like a Greek version of latkes.

Steps:
- Salt the zucchini generously and leave to drain in a colander for one hour, tossing and squeezing the zucchini from time to time. Take up handfuls of zucchini, and squeeze out all of the moisture. Alternately, wrap in a clean dish towel, and squeeze out the water by twisting at both ends.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the shredded zucchini, herbs, cumin, bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and feta. Mix together well. Take up a small handful of the mixture; if it presses neatly into a patty, it is the right consistency. If it seems wet, add more breadcrumbs or a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour. When the mixture has the right consistency, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or longer.
- Heat 1 inch of olive oil in a large frying pan until rippling, or at about 275 degrees. Meanwhile, take up heaped tablespoons of the zucchini mixture, and form balls or patties. Lightly dredge in flour.
- When the oil is very hot, add the patties in batches to the pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once with a spider or slotted spoon. Remove from the oil, and drain briefly on a rack. Serve with plain Greek style yogurt if desired.

GREEK ZUCCHINI CAKES
Steps:
- Combine the grated zucchini and kosher salt. Set aside for 5 minutes (no more, or it will be mush). Rinse in cold water and squeeze dry in a kitchen towel or press in a strainer or colander until dry.
- Combine the cheese, egg, green onions, flour, pine nuts, dill, oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl; fold in the zucchini. Form into 24 small cakes (about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each) and saute in olive oil, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
ZUCCHINI PATTIES WITH FETA
Steps:
- Toss the zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes, then transfer to a sieve. Press out the excess liquid.
- Place the zucchini in a dry bowl. Mix in the egg, yolk, 1/2 cup flour, the cheese, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix in the parsley, onions, and dill. If the batter is very wet, add more flour by spoonfuls until it is stiffer.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop the batter by rounded tablespoonfuls into the skillet. Fry the patties until golden, 5 minutes per side, adding more olive oil and corn oil as needed. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with yogurt.
- DO AHEAD
- The ZUCCHINI PATTIES can be made 1 day ahead. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and chill. Rewarm, uncovered, in a 350°F oven 12 minutes.

Steps:
- Shred zucchini into a colander and sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons salt. Allow to drain over the sink for 20 minutes.
- At the same time, mix water and flaxseed meal together until completely combined. Set aside and allow mixture to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out liquid from onions and potatoes by wringing them in a clean tea towel over the sink. Set aside.
- Combine bread crumbs, mint, dill, parsley, lemon zest, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add flaxseed meal mixture and mix to combine.
- Rinse shredded zucchini very lightly and ring out any liquid in a tea towel. Add zucchini, shredded onion, potato, and carrot to the bread crumb mixture and combine. Add flour and baking powder and combine everything once more with your hands. Set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes on the counter, or up to 3 days, covered in the refrigerator.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat, making sure the oil doesn't burn.
- Scoop zucchini mixture in 1/3-cup portions and roll into balls your hands. Working in batches, add balls to the hot oil and gently pat into a patty. Cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and continue to fry until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining balls, adding 2 tablespoons more oil to the pan between each batch. Serve.
