Kabak Mücveri (Turkish Zucchini Fritters)

I found this lovely recipe over the summer and gave it a try.  Loved it!!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs zucchini
• 1/2 cup chopped green onion (spring/scallion)
• 1 small yellow onion, grated
• 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped (the more the merrier)
• 4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (Italian)
• 1/2 cup kasseri cheese, grated or 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 3-4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• fresh ground pepper
• olive oil, for frying

Directions:

1. Grate the zucchini and place in a colander; sprinkle with salt and let drain for 30 minutes; squeeze out moisture and pat with paper towels.
2. Place all ingredients except the zucchini in a bowl.  Mix well.  Add the zucchini and blend.
3. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, pour in oil to a depth of ¼ inch; when the oil is hot, drop the batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the pan (or form into small patties), allow space in between fritters; fry for 2 minutes on the fist side, then turn to brown on the second side for about 3 minutes; using a slotted spatula transfer to paper towels or newspaper to drain; repeat with remaining batter.
