Ingredients

• 1½ cups greek yogurt
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 2 tablespoons dill
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 2 medium zucchini, grated
• 3 handfuls baby spinach, chopped
• ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
• ¼ cup minced fresh herbs (dil, mint, and oregano are my favorites to use here)
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 scallions, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Olive oil, for frying

Directions

• In a blender or food processor, combine all of the tzatziki ingredients. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place the grated zucchini in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt to draw out the liquid and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, wring all of the liquid out using your hands and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, spinach, feta, herbs, eggs, scallions, and garlic. Stir to mix well. Then, sprinkle in the flour and baking powder, a bit at a time, until it all is incorporated and holding together.
• Heat about ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once warmed, drop 3 scoops of batter into the skillet. (Aim for about 3 tablespoons worth of batter, each) After about 30 seconds, flatten them out a by pressing them down gently with a spatula. Pan fry for about 3 minutes, and then flip to fry the other side for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Place the fritters on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil, and serve warm with the Garlic Tzatziki!
