Description

Enjoy the delightful taste of Corn and Zucchini Fritters with Herb Yogurt Sauce. This dish combines fresh vegetables and herbs, making for a quick and satisfying meal that everyone will love. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy family dinner!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups freshly grated zucchini
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 12 teaspoons tabasco
  • 2 cups corn kernels, cut from the cob
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • 8 oz crumbled feta
  • Extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill or parsley

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini, then place it in a colander and mix with kosher salt. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes, then press to remove excess water. Let it sit for another 10 minutes and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the whisked eggs until a smooth batter forms. Stir in minced garlic and tabasco, and mix again.
  3. Add the drained zucchini, corn kernels, and scallions to the bowl, mixing until well combined. Carefully fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, adding a drizzle of olive oil to coat the pan.
  5. Using about 3 tablespoons of the mixture, form dollops in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Gently flatten the tops. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and repeat the frying process, adding oil between batches. Sprinkle with a touch of salt before serving.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible for the best texture.
These fritters can be served warm or at room temperature, making them ideal for gatherings.
Feel free to customize the herbs in the yogurt sauce to suit your taste.
