Zucchini Fritters
- 1 lb zucchini
- Salt
- 1 tsp coriander seed
- 1 tsp cumin seed
- 1 green onion, sliced thin
- 1/2 - 3/4 tsp minced jalapeno
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- Olive oil
- Shred zucchini and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt, mix well and set aside for at least 30 minutes to drain.
- Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a small dry skillet until they pop and smell fragrant. Grind in a spice grinder.
- Rinse zucchini under running water. Squeeze dry and place on linen towel. Gather the towel and twist zucchini to squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Put zucchini in bowl and add green onion, jalepeno, cumin and coriander and mix. Stir in flour, then beaten egg. Mixture should be sticky - add flour if needed.
- Pour olive oil in skillet to depth of one quarter inch over medium high heat. When oil is hot, drop 4 2-3 Tbsp mounds of batter in frying pan and flatten with spoon. Fry until golden brown on one side, 3 - 4 minutes and flip and fry the other side 3 - 4 minutes. Remove to paper towel lined plate and pat away excess oil. Serve immediately.
