Equipment
- 2 Medium size mixing bowls
- Whisk
- 2 Tablespoons
- Medium deep fry pan
- Spatula
- Grater
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 5 Eggs
- 5 Zucchini
- 3 Self-raising flour heaped tablespoons
- 2 Plain flour heaped tablespoons
- 5 tbsp Freshly grated Pecorino cheese
- Cooking salt
- Sprinkle of pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- To make the zucchini fritters, you should first prepare the zucchini by freshly grating them into a bowl.
- Add a sprinkle of cooking salt to the grated zucchini and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Then, scoop out handfuls of the mixture at a time, squeezing them by pressing both hands around them until you get all of the water out, transferring them into a clean bowl.
- Crack five eggs into a medium sized bowl and whisk them well. Then, add salt and pepper, and mix again.
- The next step for your zucchini fritters is to add both the self-raising flour and plain flour, followed by the pecorino cheese.
- Once this is mixed through well, combine it in the same bowl as the zucchini and mix.
- Then heat up olive oil in a medium pan. Once it is ready, turn it down slightly so the oil doesn't burn the fritters.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out a heap of the mixture gently drop it into the pan with oil.
- Make sure you cook each side of the zucchini fritters for just over a minute or until golden brown.
- Remove each zucchini fritters once cooked and transfer it to a plate with paper towels on top to soak any excess oil.
