Method :

1. Peel off the skin of the zucchini.
2. Shred the zucchini on a box grater or food processor. Add salt to it and let them sit for about 10 mins.
3. Use a clean dish towel or your hands to squeeze as much as possible water from the zucchini.
4. In a large bowl wish the eggs. Combine with the rest of the ingredients : zucchini,feta, garlic, parsley ,dille and flour. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat and scoop 1 tablespoon of batter for each fritter in the pan, flattening it with a spatula. Pan-fry until golden brown - for about 2 minutes on each side.
6. Drain the zucchini fritters on paper towels and enjoy them simple or with a fresh yoghurt sauce.
