Equipment

  • Nut Milk Bag
  • Le Creuset Braiser

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds zucchini about 2 to 3 medium to large zucchini
  • 1 shallot finely diced
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 0.25 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • kosher salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for frying

Garlic, Chive Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Grate the zucchini. Grate the zucchini and put into a bowl. Sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt, stir together and let stand for 20 minutes. The salt will work to draw the moisture out of the zucchini.
  • Drain the zucchini. Squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini, with either a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, then return to a clean bowl.
  • Mix together. Add the shallot, eggs, almond flour, goat cheese, salt and pepper. Then stir to combine.
  • Fry the zucchini fritters. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Using either your hands or a spoon, dollop out mounds (approximately ¼ cup worth) of the mixture into the hot pan. Using a spatula, push down each fritter to flatten. Cook the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they're lightly golden. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to dab away any extra oil.
  • Make the sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the yogurt, garlic, chives, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve. Serve the fritters with a dollop of the sauce, then enjoy!

Notes

These fritters will not be as crispy the following day but will still taste delicious. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To freeze, lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw before reheating. For a crispier texture, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes per side if preferred.
