We’re big fans of these tasty, vegetarian fritters. Feta and onion are a winning combo that pairs beautifully with a fresh, bright yogurt sauce.

Ingredients

    Yogurt Sauce
  • ½ cup (125 mL) low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped dill
  • 1   garlic clove, pressed
    Fritters
  • 2 cups (500 mL) packed, grated zucchini (about 1 large zucchini)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3   green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup (125 mL) crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
  •  Oil for brushing

Directions

  1. For the yogurt sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.

  2. Set the Deluxe Electric Grill & Griddle to 'CUSTOM' for 8 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

  3. For the fritters, combine all the ingredients, except the oil.

  4. When preheated, brush the plates with the oil. Spoon ¼ cup (60 mL) of batter onto griddle; repeat with remaining batter to make 8 fritters; flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon.

  5. Cook until deep golden brown, 3–4 minutes per side. Serve with the sauce.

Cook's Tips:

For even more flavor, you can make the yogurt sauce in advance. This gives the dill more time to bloom, deepening the flavor.
