Zucchini Fritters with Skyr Tzatziki

Today I woke up craving Tzatziki maybe because I was missing summer or maybe because I wanted something fresh and light. I had all the ingredients to make Tzatziki in the fridge (Isey Skyr, lemon, cucumber) but I wasn’t sure what to pair it with. Then I found 2 zucchinis and right away thought about delicious Zucchini Fritters!

I hadn’t made Zucchini Fritters in a while and completely forgot how delicious they are and how easy they are to make. All you need is zucchinis, an egg some parmesan and some herbs. These Fritters are also amazing for kids and for when you have guests over as little apero foods or appetisers.

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Ingredients Fritters for 2 people:

• Zucchini - small / medium - 2

• Egg - 1

• Parmesan - 60 g

• Plain Flour - 30 g

• Isey Skyr - 170 g

• Olive Oil - 1 Tbs

• Fresh Mint - 1 Tbs

• Lemon Juice - 1 Tbs

• Garlic - 1/2 clove

• Salt - a sprinkle

Preparation for Tzatziki:

1. We start preparing the Tzatziki by grating the cucumber (there is no need to peel the cucumber).

2. Put the grated cucumber in a kitchen cloth and squeeze out all the moisture.

3. Put the squeezed and grated cucumber pieces in a bowl, add the Isey Skyr, olive oil, the herbs, the lemon juice the garlic and the salt. Taste it and see if you want to add any more herbs, salt or lemon juice.

4. Put in the fridge while we make the Zucchini Fritters.

Preparation for Zucchini Fritters:

1. Grate your Zucchini and sprinkle some salt over the grated pieces - leave to rest for 5 minutes.

2. Now, similar to what you did with the cucumber, place the grated pieces in a kitchen cloth and squeeze out all the excess moisture. The zucchini pieces should be as dry as possible.

3. Place them in a bow and add in the chopped scallion, the parsley, dill, parmesan and flour. Mix with your hands.

4. In a separate bowl beat an egg, then add the egg to the zucchini mixture and mix everything well with your hands.

5. Take your mixture and make around 8 balls the same size.

6. Heat some sunflower oil in a pan (enough to fry with but not too much), once hot start adding the balls 3/4 at a time depending on how big your pan is. Flatten them with a spatula and leave to cook 3 minutes, then turn them around and cook for another 3 minutes.

7. Once they are nicely cooked remove them from the heat and place them on kitchen paper to dry.

8. Plate and serve with some sea salt, dill and Tzatziki.
