Parmesan Zucchini Fritters
Ingredients
  • 3 large zucchini, finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • oil for frying
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, for topping
Instructions
1
Combine the grated zucchini with a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix until they are evenly blended. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
2
Transfer the zucchini mixture onto a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and gently press it through to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the excess moisture.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk an egg until it becomes light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl, stirring until well combined.
4
Add the drained zucchini to the egg mixture and stir until everything is fully incorporated.
5
Heat a moderate amount of oil in a medium-sized pan over high heat. Using a spoon, drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil, about one tablespoon at a time. Cook the fritters until they are golden brown on both sides, taking approximately 5 minutes per batch.
6
Transfer the cooked fritters to a serving plate and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and salt. Serve the warm fritters immediately, accompanied by a side of sour cream.
