Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl mix the zucchini, egg, scallions, parsley, mint, yogurt, and baking powder. Add 1 cup of the flour and stir to create a batter. If the zucchini was watery and the batter looks thin add an additional few tablespoon of flour. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the skillet. Add a large heaping tablespoon of batter to the pan to create a 2-inch fritter. Repeat being careful not to crowd the skillet. Cook each fritter about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Test one to make sure it’s cooked all the way through. Serve hot with lemon wedges and the sauce of your choice.
