Zucchini Ricotta Fritters
- 2 medium size zucchini, coarsely shredded
- 2 small cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 scallions, white + light green part chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat ricotta cheese
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- light olive oil, for frying
- fresh ricotta and chopped dill, as a garnish
- In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the flour. You should use roughly a teaspoon each of salt and pepper. When everything is well combined, add the flour and gently mix again.
- Preheat a large frying pan with a few tablespoons of oil. The goal is to prevent sticking, not to deep fry. Your heat should be medium all around.rnUse about 1.5 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and cook them about 3-4 minutes per side, or until deep golden. Flip, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.rnRemove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately. Garnish with a dollop of fresh ricotta, sprinkle of sea salt and some freshly chopped dill (if you'd like).
