      Zucchini Fritters with Dill Yogurt

      Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegetarian Diabetes-Friendly No Shellfish Nut-Free American Dinner Appetizer Side Snack
      6 servings (2 fritters)
      Prep time: 35 minutes
      Total time: 35 minutes

      Description

      Serve these crispy zucchini fritters with creamy dill-yogurt sauce during the summer when zucchinis are abundant at the farmers' market (or in your backyard garden). The key to the best fritters is moisture management. Zucchini is primarily made up of water, so this recipe starts with a two-step process of salting and squeezing the vegetable to remove as much of that water as possible. Once that simple step is done, this easy recipe comes together in a snap.

      Directions

      1. Place zucchini in a fine-mesh strainer and toss with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Let stand for 15 minutes.
      2. Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, sour cream, dill, vinegar, water, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
      3. Place the zucchini in a clean dish towel and squeeze until dry. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in egg, flour, cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
      4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Using 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture to make each fritter, drop 6 fritters into the pan and flatten with a spatula into 2-inch disks. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture and 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle the fritters with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve immediately with the reserved sauce.
