ZUCCHINI-PARMESAN CHEESE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine zucchini and salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. Pour mixture onto a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to drain completely.

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS (GLUTEN-FREE, LOW-CARB, KETO)

Steps:

• Grate the zucchini and put into a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, stir together and let stand for 20 minutes. The salt will work to draw the moisture out of the zucchini.
• Squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini, with either a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, then return to a clean bowl.
• Add the shallot, eggs, goat cheese, almond 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!

COTTAGE CHEESE FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the flour and oil. Mix well, then stir in the flour.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Working in batches of two or three (the mixture should make six fritters), spoon large blobs into the pan and flatten with the back of the spoon to make thick discs. Turn when crisp and golden on the bottom. When both sides are cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm in a low oven while you fry the next batch.
• Serve hot, sprinkled with parmesan and herbs.
