Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 zucchini

  • 1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch coarse salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 green onions, finely sliced

  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for garnish

  • 3 tablespoons flour

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for garnish

  • 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Trim and coarsely shred zucchini into a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together egg, green onions, and pepper in another bowl.

  2. Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel; squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible. Stir zucchini and flour into egg mixture.

  3. Heat a griddle or extra-large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; brush or swirl to coat pan. Drop mixture in 6 mounds onto the hot griddle, then flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

  4. For lemony sour cream, whisk sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining pinch of salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle with zest and pepper; serve with fritters.
