Method

1

First start the fritter mix. Mix zucchini and salt together and sit over a sieve for at least 30 mins. We want to extract all the liquid out.

2

Meanwhile, pickle the onions. Heat all the ingredients except for the onions in a small saucepan. Add the onions and let it pickle for at least 30 mins.

3

Whip the feta by adding all the ingredients into a blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy.

4

Heat the frying oil in a medium saucepan. Mix all the remaining ingredients of the fritter mix together. Squeeze all the liquid out of the zucchini and add to the mix.

5

Fry the fritters in small round balls until golden on both sides.

6

To plate up, cream the whipped feta on your serving platter. Pile up the fritters, lemon, oregano on top and pickled onions on the side.
