Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients:

• 2 Zucchini
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 cup of Chives
• 1 cup of Plain Flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Salt

Instructions:

• Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water.
• Grate zucchini using a food processor or box grater
• Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add a teaspoon of salt
• Wait for 10 minutes and then squeeze zucchini over the sink or through a cloth to release excess liquid, about 3 cups worth of liquid
• Chop the green chives into small pieces
• Mix the two eggs and then pour them with the chives into the bowl of zucchini and mix altogether
• Add flour and baking powder into the mix and whisk everything together until it forms a batter

• Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium to high heat
• Add about 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each fritter into the pan and cook on both sides for around 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy
• Serve the fritters on a plate, (if required, break the fritters up for easy eating with hands)

Chef's tips:

• Add a dollop of greek yoghurt or sour cream for dipping sauce
• Refrigerate or freeze any leftover in an airtight container
