Zucchini Fritters (Grated) and One Lovely Blog Award

Grated Zucchini Fritters
These zucchini fritters may not look so pretty, but they were so delicious.  I used Vefa Alexiadou's Zucchini Yeast Fritters recipe from Sunny Mediterranean Cuisine.  Grating the zucchini makes these fritters so much tastier than yesterday's sliced zucchinis.  The only downfall to this recipe is initially knowing how much to spoon onto the frying pan, especially since I used 1 cup of flour instead of the required 1 lb (2 cups).  Yes.  Even I make silly yet tasty errors.  ~It's all a matter of getting better with practice. 

Oh, and that dip?  Yeah, it was awesome!  In fact, it was sinfully delicious!  Do you want the recipe?  I guess you'll have to come back tomorrow...

Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini Fritters
In an ideal world, making zucchini fritters would be as easy as tossing zucchini slices into a large baggy full of flour (seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, paprika, etc) until well coated and then dipping into a bowl of whisked eggs and milk before frying, but for anyone that follows my blog loyally, you would know that's not the case for me.  My daughter has an egg allergy, which means I'm always having to look for alternative ways of cooking.

Inspired by Vefa Alexiadou's Zucchini Yeast Fritters recipe from her Sunny Mediterranean Cuisine cookbook, I created these sliced zucchini fritters which turned out really good, but like Vefa suggests, they should be served immediately.
