• Zucchini and White Bean Fritters
  • Ingredients
  • Directions

Ingredients

• 4 cups coarsely grated zucchini, (about 4 small zucchini)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup canned white pea beans, drained and rinsed well
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
• 2 tsp finely chopped garlic
• 1 tsp grated lemon rind
• 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup canola oil, for frying

Directions

1. Toss zucchini with salt in a medium bowl and let stand for 5 min to draw out moisture.
2. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and wring out any liquid. (It’s important to squeeze it really well.)
3. Purée beans in a food processor, transfer to a bowl and stir in egg, parsley, garlic and lemon rind until well combined.
4. Add zucchini and bread crumbs and mix until fully incorporated. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium-high. Use your hands to press mixture into about 12 thin patties. 5. Work in batches, and add remaining oil as needed, and fry the patties for 1 to 2 min a side or until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
