- wash and grate the zucchini, then toss with 1 tbsp salt and place in a strainer inside a kitchen towel and let sit to lose its water for at least 1 hour
- after 1 hour, squeeze to remove any remaining water (usually, there will be 2/3 water loss for 1/3 of grated strained zucchini)
- finely chop the green onions and fresh herbs and combine in a large mixing bowl with the 2 eggs, olive oil, crumbled feta cheese and grated zucchini and mix well and then add bread crumbs, some salt & pepper and remix until you can form a compact firmer ball (add more breadcrumbs if necessary)
- test for salt & pepper by frying up a small fritter and then adjust to your taste with more fresh herbs and/or spices
- divide the larger ball into 4 large or more medium or smaller-sized balls and place inside the refrigerator to firm up for at least 30 minutes
- flatten the balls into patties (i used metal rings to keep their shapes round and uniform) and fry them in olive oil for about 5-7 minutes on each side at med-high heat or bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown (brush them generously with olive oil if you oven-bake them or they will be drier than the pan-fried version) and flip them over once half-way through
- serve warm as is with some bread and salad or in a burger form with some toasted english muffin or hamburger buns, lettuce, sliced cucumbers and tzatziki sauce.
