STEPS
- Grate the zucchini and put into a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, stir together and let stand for 10 minutes. The salt will work to draw the moisture out of the zucchini.
- Squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini, then return to a clean bowl.
- Add the shallot, eggs, goat cheese, flour, salt and pepper. Then stir to combine
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Using either your hands or a spoon, dollop out mounds (approximately 1/4 cup worth) of the mixture into the hot pan. Using a spatula, push down each fritter to flatten.
- Cook the fritters 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're lightly golden.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to dab away any extra oil.
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, stirring until creamy.
- Serve the fritters with a dollop of the sauce, then enjoy!
TIPS
To Store: Place cooled fritters in an airtight container and store for up to 5 days in the fridge.
To Freeze: Use a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 2 months in the freezer.
To Reheat: Make sure to thaw the fritters either overnight in the fridge or on the counter for about 30 minutes. Then simply reheat in the microwave. Or for a more-crisp texture, bake them in the oven at 180C for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through.
