Ingredients
- 600 g zucchini
- sea salt
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
- 100 g fetta, crumbled
- ¼ cup finely chopped dill
- 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
- 2 tbsp rice flour
- freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil
Standing time: 20 minutes
Instructions
Coarsely grate the zucchini and put into a colander. Sprinkle lightly with salt and toss, then stand for 20 minutes to drain. Rinse the zucchini briefly, then squeeze it to extract as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with paper towel.
Mix the zucchini with the onion, garlic, fetta, herbs and egg in a large bowl. Sift on the flours, then season with pepper and stir to combine.
Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Drop small tablespoons of batter into the hot oil and flatten gently. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve piping hot.
