Ingredients
- 2 zucchini or 3 small ones, large
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 grams water
- 10 grams fresh brewer's yeast or 5 grams of dry brewer's yeast
- 5 grams salt as desired
- 5 grams black pepper as desired
- peanut oil abundant, or other oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water, add the flour and the salt and mix with a fork until you have a soft batter. Cover with saran wrap and let sit in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles.
- In the meantime, grate the fresh zucchini with a box grater, drain and pat dry with a clean dishcloth or paper towels being sure to remove as much water as possible. You can even squeeze the zucchini with a cheese cloth to make sure there is no moisture left, this is very important because the zucchini fritters won't fry well if they are wet.
- When the batter has doubled, add the zucchini to the batter and stir until combined.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet with high sides over high or medium heat.
- Take a large scoop of batter and pour it directly into the boiling oil in the cast iron skillet over medium heat to form a sort of patty that is circular and fairly flat. Fry just a few fritters at a time for about 1.5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown, turning each zucchini fritter only once if possible.
- Remove each zucchini fritter with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel lined plate or baking sheet. Add a dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve hot, possibly with your sour cream or Greek yogurt dipping sauce on the side.
