Instructions

  • Place the grated zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and add one teaspoon of salt. Stir well and leave for about 10 minutes. After this time, use a large spoon to push as much liquid out of the zucchini as you can. Next, place the zucchini in a clean tea towel, roll it up and squeeze out any excess water.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the drained zucchini, flour, onion, chives, garlic, oregano, teaspoon of salt, pepper and the beaten egg. Stir well well to combine and set aside.
  • Lay out a sheet of parchment paper and dust with flour. Spoon out the mixture and roll into small balls. You will get about 8 - 10.
  • Heat the oil in a medium sized skillet. Add about 3 - 4 zucchini balls to the hot oil. Using a spatula, gently press down the ball to lightly flatten. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes. Flip them over and immediately flatten firmly until they are thin. Cook for about 2 - 3 more minutes until golden and crisp. Repeat for all zucchini mixture.
  • Serve these hot with your favourite sauces.
