¼cupyellow onion,diced

⅓fresh mint leaves,chopped

½tspground cumin

½tspsalt

Ground black pepper

1cupwhole wheat flour,use 4 cups for gluten-free flour

4tspextra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Shred the zucchini using the largest holes on a cheese grater or a food processor with a shredding disk.

Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as you can; discard the liquid.

Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the eggs, feta, mint, onion, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.

Stir in the flour.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.

Scoop out the zucchini mixture using a ¼-cup measure and drop it into the pan, repeating to make as many patties as will fit in the skillet, about 4 at a time.

Gently flatten the patties with the back of the measuring cup and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown on both sides and cooked all the way through.

Repeat to make the rest of the fritters.
