Season - Vegan zucchini fritters by Noemi B. - Recipia

Dried basil goes into these vegan zucchini fritters, pan-fried until their edges turn golden. Grated zucchini is held together with onion, garlic, dill, parsley and flour, while the middle stays soft; they’re good cold too, and still hold their shape. I make them about the size of a heaping spoonful, so they have plenty of browned edge. Prep: 20 minutes. Cooking: 24 minutes. Rest: 10 minutes. Total time: 54 minutes. Serves: 4.

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini (600 g)
1 large onion (180 g)
3 garlic cloves
4 sprigs of dill
5 sprigs of fresh parsley
4-5 tablespoons of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 level teaspoon of dried basil
150 ml of oil

Preparation

1. Wash and peel the zucchini, then grate them on the large holes of a box grater. 2. Leave the grated zucchini for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid well. 3. Peel the onion and garlic and chop them in a blender. Wash the dill and parsley, remove the stems and chop the leaves. Add them to the zucchini along with the onion, garlic and 4-5 tablespoons of flour. Mix, then add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and 1 level teaspoon of dried basil. 4. Heat 150 ml of oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop up some of the mixture with a spoon, shape the fritters in your palm and fry them for 24 minutes in total, until browned on both sides. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.

Notes

I serve them with tomato salad; they’re a bit like a savory pancake, only you can feel the little pieces of zucchini. For a gluten-free version, replace the flour with 4-5 tablespoons of rice flour; regular flour contains gluten. Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Small zucchini have fine seeds and firmer flesh. Sometimes the center is very soft, and the fritters break when you turn them.
