1Salt the grated zucchini and rest 15 minutes; squeeze out ALL the water in a cloth — this is the secret.

2Mix with the feta, spring onions, herbs, eggs, pepper; add flour gradually until it holds together.

3Shape small flat fritters with two spoons.

4Shallow-fry in olive oil over medium heat, 2–3 minutes per side, until deep golden.

5Drain briefly; serve hot or warm — never fridge-cold.
