Ingredients (2 servings)
1 large zucchini
3 eggs
100g cottage cheese

1 garlic clove
½ onion
Fresh parsley
1tsp Lemon zest
¼ tsp salt

Method
Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. Set aside.
Finely chop the garlic clove, onion, and fresh parsley. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Cook the fritters: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the fritter mixture into the pan, flattening each one slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate. Serve with yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
