Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups grated zucchini -- (3 - 4 zucchini), drained in a

colander for at least 1

hour

1 cup chopped scallions -- (white and most of the green parts)

1 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

1 cup grated hard myzithra -- or kefalotyri, pecorino Romano

or Parmesan cheese

(optional)

1 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

1 tablespoon dried oregano -- crumbled

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

olive oil and safflower oil for frying

 

In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, scallions, parsley, cheese (if using),

cornstarch, mint,

oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Let stand at room temperature for 15

minutes.

 

 

In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 1/2 inches of a combination of olive and

safflower oil over

medium-high heat to 350F. To make a test patty, stir the zucchini mixture and,

using the spoon,

scoop up an amount about the size of a golf ball. With the help of a second

spoon, shape it into a

patty and place it in the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until browned, about 3

minutes. Taste the

patty and adjust the seasonings in the remaining zucchini mixture, if necessary.

Shape and fry the

remaining patties, in batches, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot,

warm or at room

temperature.

 

 

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

 

 

Serve with yogurt-garlic-cucumber dip, or plain drained yogurt, or skordalia

(potato-garlic dip).

her taverna, Kastro,

in Avgonima. To bind the patties, she uses cornstarch instead of flour, with the

result that the

patties are particularly light-textured.
