Zucchini Lentil Fritters

Method

How it comes together

  1. 1

    Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Toss with salt and let sit 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Squeeze the zucchini hard in a clean kitchen towel — remove as much water as you can (this is the key step).

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, flour, ground flax mixed with water, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until a loose batter forms.

  4. 4

    Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter, flatten gently, and cook 3 minutes per side until deeply golden.

  5. 5

    Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with cashew yogurt and lemon wedges.
