Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (120g weighed after squeezed)
  • 1 cup corn (150g)
  • 1/4 cup cheese (25g)
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour (40g)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions 

  • Heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Cook about 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Gently press down to help the mixture to bind.

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze out as much excess liquid from the zucchini as possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Don't flip too early. Wait until the fritter is cooked completely through on the bottom.
  • Lower the heat If the fritters get too dark. You are looking for a golden brown color.
  • For best storage suggestion, refer to the "storage" section above.
