Description

Tasty fritters made with ground chicken, shredded zucchini, and the perfect amount of aromatics and spices.

Ingredients
  • 2 zucchini, shredded + 1 tsp salt (leave skin on)
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tsp green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • olive oil for cooking
    • Dip
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 squeeze lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked
  • 1-2 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped
Instructions
  1. 1

    Prepare the zucchini: shred the zucchini and place in a bowl or plate. Sprinkle 1 tsp of salt over the zucchini and mix. Leave it for 10 minutes. 

  2. 2

    After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini between your hands or use a strainer/cheesecloth to squeeze the liquid out of the zucchini. Place the squeezed zucchini into a large bowl. 

  3. 3

    Mix: to the zucchini, add the ground chicken, garlic, green onion, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika, and mix everything together well. 

  4. 4

    Fry: heat a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add enough olive oil to the pan, about 1/4-1/2 inch high. 

  5. 5

    Spoon the mixture into the hot oil. Each fritter should have about 3 tbsp of mixture. Flatten the fritters to about a 1/2 inch thick circle. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Drain on a paper towel. 

  6. 6

    Make the dip: mix all the dip ingredients together and serve with the fritters.
