Zucchini Fritters

I feel like Zucchini is the forgotten vegetable. I mean, honestly, how often do you hear "Can I have my steak with a side of zucchini?" Exactly. 

But we should remember the zucchini, because when it is utilized correctly, it can create the most wonderful dishes. Also, it's a vegetable so it's obviously healthy (let's entirely forget that it is covered in flour and fried). 

What You'll Need for Approximately 10 Fritters: 

- 3 medium zucchini, grated 

- 1 large egg

- 1/2 cup of flour, sifted

- 1/2 tsp of cornstarch or baking powder

- 1/4 tsp of kosher salt

- Pepper to taste 

- 3 tbs of chopped chives, divided 

What to do: 

- Grate the zucchini and set into a colander with the salt, allow to stand for 10 min. 

- Drain the zucchini in a kitchen towel, add more salt to taste. 

- Combine the egg, flour, baking powder and chives, with the zucchini.

- Season to taste and mix together. 

- On a medium high heat, heat up olive oil and drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the preheated pan, flatten and allow to brown on one side. 

- Let cook for approximately 2 min per side, take off the heat and drain the excess oil off with a paper towel. 

- Serve with a mixture of cool greek yogurt and sour cream. Top with chives and enjoy.
