Whitebait Fritters (Whitebait Substitute)

Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 large Egg
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Dill
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Grate the 2 medium zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and press down firmly with your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons dill, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
3. 3Add the squeezed grated zucchini to the bowl with the egg and flour mixture. Stir everything together until the zucchini is evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
4. 4Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil. Use the back of the spoon to gently flatten each fritter slightly.
6. 6Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. They are ready to flip when the edges look golden brown and crispy, and they should be golden brown and crispy on both sides when done.
7. 7Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the fritters hot.
