• 2/3 cup (100g) finely chopped spring onions (scallions)
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs (Medium)
• 5 tablespoons (75g) flour
• 1 teaspoon (6g) baking powder
• 1 cup (100g) grated Kefalotyri cheese
• 1 package (200g) crumbled Feta cheese
For the coating
• 1 cup (150g) all-purpose flour
• 4 egg whites, well beaten
• 1 package (150g) Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
For frying
• plenty vegetable oil
METHOD
1. Grate the zucchini using the coarse side of the grater. Place them in a sieve and sprinkle with the salt. Mix well and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain them very well; we don't want any moisture left. Place them in a bowl and add all the other ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Take about 50-60g of the mixture and shape the zucchini fritters into an oval shape. Coat them in the flour, then the egg white (if you prefer, you can use the whole egg), and finally the Panko. Pour enough oil into a frying pan to cover it halfway and place it over medium heat to warm up. Lower the heat to medium and place 6 zucchini fritters at a time so that the oil temperature doesn't drop too much. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side and remove onto absorbent paper. Before adding the next batch, increase the heat to let the oil warm up again, then lower it back to medium when you place the fritters in. Serve with yogurt or tzatziki.
