Zucchini Fritters

Very Good!

Ingredients

• 3 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup diced onion
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• For the Mayo
• 1 cup mayo
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pour oil in a skillet so that it is half an inch deep and turn the heat to medium.

2. While waiting for the oil to heat up, combine the zucchini, onion and eggs in a large bowl. Stir the mixture to combine. It may be frothy, but that's okay.

3. In another bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine.

4. To finish the batter, add the ingredients to the zucchini mixture and fold it all together.

5. Once your oil is hot (dip a spoon with some batter on it into the oil to test, if the oil starts bubbling in contact with the batter, it's ready) you can drop the batter a tablespoon at a time into the oil, frying for 2 - 3 minutes per side. If you want a more substantial fritter, form the batter into loose "patties" and fry in oil 3 - 4 minutes per side.

6. When the centers are firm, remove them from the oil and allow to drain on a paper towel.

7. To make the dip, simply combine the mayo, lime juice and chili powder in a small mixing bowl and stir it all up.
