Zucchini Fritters With Pork Recipe

Prepare Ingredients

1. Grate 2 medium-sized zucchinis into a large bowl. 2. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the grated zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes. 3.

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. 12. Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. 13.
