Greek Kolokithokeftedes (Zucchini Fritters)

Step 1

Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a grater.

Step 2

Transfer the zucchini to a fine mesh strainer and set over a bowl. Toss the zucchini with the salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wring all of the excess liquid out of the zucchini with your hands, then set aside.

Step 3

Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the dried zucchini, scallions, dill, feta, garlic and black pepper. Sprinkle the corn starch and baking powder over mixture and stir until mixed thoroughly.

Step 4

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Drop 2-tablespoon sized portions into the pan, then use the back of a spoon to gently press the batter into 2-inch-wide fritters. Pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.

Step 7

Return the skillet to medium heat, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm or room temperature with lemon wedges.
