If you’ve read our cookbook, you know we have a thing for fritters. We made a whole chapter about them! And this recipe would have been included had our Golden Tahini existed. Shredded zucchini is drained and then bound with flour, egg, sauce, and scalions before being formed into little fritters and pan fried.
Chef Tip: Salting the shredded zucchini draws the moisture out of it so your fritters stay together as they fry. It also concentrates the delicious zucchini flavor. It’s definitely a necessary step, so don’t skip it!
4 cups zucchini, shredded (about 3 medium zucchini)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large egg, lightly beaten
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
Sour cream
Place shredded zucchini in a colander or sieve over a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for about 10 mins, allowing the water to drain out
Using your hand, squeeze as much of the water as you can away from the zucchini
Mix together flour, egg, a squeeze of Golden Tahini sauce, scallions, and salt, together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini and combine to make a batter
Line a plate with a paper towel, set aside. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, just to cover the bottom
Using an ice cream scoop or big tablespoon, scoop batter into the hot skillet with enough space that they don’t touch each other. Fry until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt. Add more oil to coat the bottom of the pan if needed for the next batch
Mix sour cream with a squeeze of Golden Tahini sauce. Serve the zucchini fritters topped with golden sour cream
