Preparation

Step 1

Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt and let stand at least 20 minutes, or until it loses its juice. Squeeze dry and place in a large bowl. Add the cheese, dill, parsley, onions, eggs, flour, and pepper and mix well. Adjust the seasonings. If batter is too runny, add a little more flour.

Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Drop batter by tablespoons into oil and fry until golden brown on all sides but still moist inside, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with Tomato Relish.


TOMATO RELISH:
•4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
•1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
•1 small onion, finely chopped
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
•1 teaspoon dried mint
•1 teaspoon paprika
•Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning. Set aside at room temperature for a few hours, or cover and chill for several days.
