Instructions

Shred the zucchini in a food processor fitted with a shredding disk or use a box grater. Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or a few sheets of strong paper towel and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes and then squeeze out the excess liquid.
Add chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl and crush them with a fork. Mix in the squeeze-dried zucchini, feta cheese, dill, lemon juice and zest, green onions, eggs, garlic, black pepper, lemon juice and zest, salt, pepper, green onions, eggs, and garlic. Add flour gradually and stir to combine.
Mix the yogurt dip ingredients together in a small bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the batter to the pan and use the back of a spatula to gently press it into a 2-inch fritter. Repeat until the pan is full then fry until golden brown on both sides, 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter adding more oil to the pan if it becomes dry. Serve the zucchini patties with the yogurt dip on the side.
