Ingredients
For the Greek Yogurt
Instructions
- Step 1
Line a colander with cheesecloth and set over a bowl. Mix the grated zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt and place in the cheesecloth lined sieve. Let stand 10 minutes then squeeze excess liquid.
- Step 2
While the zucchini sits, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
- Step 3
Whisk the buttermilk and egg together in a medium bowl. Place the zucchini, corn and scallion in the bowl with the buttermilk and egg mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Step 4
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Step 5
Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fritters in batches (about 3 or 4 at a time) for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown, adding more oil if the pan becomes dry. If the pan becomes too hot, reduce the heat to medium low.
- Step 6
Place the cooked fritters on a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining fritters, adding oil and adjusting the temperature as needed.
- Step 7
Place the yogurt in a small bowl. Add the jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest and salt to taste.
- Step 8
Serve with the warm fritters and enjoy!
