Zucchini Potato And Herb Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze dry in a clean kitchen towel or press in a ricer. Repeat with onion.
• Mix together zucchini, onion, cheese, flour, and herbs. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in eggs just before frying.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, coat skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Scoop mounds (2 tablespoons each) of the zucchini mixture into skillet; flatten slightly using a spatula. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer fritters to paper-towel-lined plates to drain. Serve with dollops of plain yogurt and apricot jam.

Steps:

• Squeeze all the excess liquid from the potato, zucchini, onion and garlic, and use paper kitchen towelling to further pat dry the potatoes, zucchini and onion. One method is to put the vegetables into a small colandar or sieve, place this on or over the sink and press down on the vegetables several times.
• Combine the potato, zucchini, onion, garlic, flour, egg, mint, basil, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
• Pre-heat the oven to hot. 220°C or 425-450°F or gas mark 7-8.
• Heat oil in a large, preferably non-stick pan, and shallow-fry level tablespoons of the mixture, until the fritters are browned on both sides, place on paper kitchen towelling to absorb excess oil then transfer the fritters to oven trays and bake uncovered for about 10 minutes or until they are crisped and cooked right through.
• Combine the yoghurt and extra mint.
• Serve the fritters immediately with the yoghurt and mint topping.

Steps:

• Make zucchini batter:
• Stir together zucchini and salt, then drain in a colander set over a bowl, 1 hour.
• Stir together zucchini and remaining fritter ingredients. Season well with freshly ground black pepper. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
• Fry fritters:
• Heat enough of frying oils to measure 3/4 inch in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F.
• Spoon heaping tablespoons of fritter mixture into oils and fry in small batches without crowding, turning fritters, until golden brown, about 1 minute.
• Transfer fritters with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and return oil to 350°F between batches. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Coarsely grate potato and zucchini.
• There should be 1 cup of grated potato and 2 cups of grated zucchini.
• In a mixing bowl, add grated potato, grated zucchini, onion, cornmeal, parsley, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and beaten eggs; mix well to blend.
• In a large frying pan, heat butter and oil to medium-high heat.
• Drop potato/zucchini mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into the hot oil.
• Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
• Turn fritter over and fry for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and done.
• Add additional butter and oil if required for frying the remaining fritters.
• Serve with a dill dip or serve them just as they are.
• If too much liquid appears in the mixture, just transfer the mixture into a sieve and let drain.
• Continue to spoon the mixture to fry.

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.
