ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
Salting the grated zucchini helps draw out the excess moisture before squeezing it dry - this step is the trick that keeps these golden brown fritters from becoming soggy.

Steps:
- Grate the zucchini into a colander in the sink; toss with 2 teaspoons salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid.
- In a bowl, stir to combine the zucchini, scallions, parsley, dill, egg, Parmesan and flour.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the skillet and pan-fry, flattening with a spatula, until golden-brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
One day I wanted to serve zucchini as a side dish-but I didn't have the time to slice and deep-fry it. So I came up with these fritters instead! They go especially well with barbecued ribs or pork chops and corn on the cob. I'm an avid recipe clipper. I've also assisted at our church's Wednesday night suppers, cooking for as many as 125 people. -Mary Dixson, Catlin, Illinois

GOLDEN ZUCCHINI FRITTERS
A yummy summer side for those extra zucchini. The recipe calls for feta, but I used a small chunk of chevre, instead. From Chatelaine, July 2011.
