Fritter Ingredients:
1 large zucchini (or 2 small ones)
1 clove garlic peeled and minced
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup fresh oregano
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 organic eggs or Flax Egg
1/4 cup gluten-free flour
1/4 tsp onion powder
to taste salt
to taste pepper
Avocado Dill dip:
Blend avocado with yogurt until completely smooth
Mix in dill and celery salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate zucchini. Place zucchini in a colander set in the sink and toss with 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 10 minutes, and then wring zucchini dry in a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture. Place zucchini in a large bowl and gently mix in egg, garlic, basil, oregano, lemon zest, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Slowly add flour, stirring so no lumps form.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil sizzles when you drop a small amount of zucchini mixture into the pan. Carefully drop about 2 tablespoons zucchini mixture into pan; repeat, spacing fritters a few inches apart.
3. Cook fritters until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium. Turn fritters, and continue cooking until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer fritters to a plate; set aside in a warm place. Cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to pan if necessary.
