Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini, large
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, plain (30g)
  • 2 tbsp polenta (10g)
  • cup feta cheese (40g)
  • 2 sprigs green onions/scallions chopped
  • olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • Grate zucchini into a medium bowl, add a pinch of salt, let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Wring out the zucchini by squeezing it with your hands and drain off any extra water.
  • Add chopped scallions, eggs, cream cheese, and polenta, mix all together.
  • Cut feta cheese into small cubes and add to the zucchini mixture.
  • Heat a little bit of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place a large spoonful of zucchini mixture into the middle of the pan.
  • Cook for 1 minute on each side.
  • Place the cooked fritters onto a paper towel to remove extra oil. Serve immediately.

Notes

*Add more for a stronger cheese flavour (keeping in mind that feta cheese is quite salty)
**You can use any oil for frying: coconut oil, butter, avocado oil or ghee
