Recipe adapted from: http://muchadoaboutpie.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/mini-zucchini-fritters/

Ingredients:

• 3-4 regular sized zucchini, grated (you know, regular, 7-8 cm long, < 2cm wide)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• zest of 1 lemon
• a handful of chopped parsley
• 2 chopped green onions
• 2 large eggs
• a dash or two of pepper
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/8 tsp-ish cayenne pepper (optional, amount varies depending on taste)
• oil for frying
• plain yogurt for serving

Method:

• Grate the zucchini–just chop off the stem end and grate that thing!
• Mix all ingredients except the oil and yogurt together until they’re well-combined.
• Heat oil (maybe 2-3 Tbsp, just enough to cover the skillet, add more as needed) in a large skillet on medium heat.
• Use a tablespoon to drop little rounded zucchini patties into the oil.
• Fry on each side until golden brown and crispy.
• Serve with yogurt on the side.
