KOLOKYTHAKIA TIGANITA - GREEK BATTERED FRIED ZUCCHINI / COURGETT
Here's another grear vegetarian Greek dish. Soda water in the batter keeps these thin slices of fried zucchini light and crispy. A simple recipe, serve these as an appetizer or meze, or a side dish. Recipe by Nancy Gaifyllia, she says "The key to great crispy zucchini is to slice thinly and fry at high heat so the zucchini has time to cook but not absorb a lot of oil. Use a cheese slicer, mandoline, or long-bladed knife to get uniformly thin slices." Time to make doesn't include resting time. Posted for ZWT 4.

GREEK FRIED ZUCCHINI
Fried zucchini is a Greek favorite during the summer, often served in the tavernas. It is usually part of a meze platter, sometimes alongside fried eggplant and accompanied with Tzatziki sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Wash zucchini well. Do not remove skin. With a sharp knife or mandolin slice the zucchini into thin strips or into sticks. Place the slices in a large strainer and salt generously. Let them sit for about 20 minutes. The salt will draw out the water from the zucchini
- 2. In a shallow baking pan combine the flour, pepper, paprika, and cornstarch. If desired here you can add garlic powder. The zucchini will have released some moisture & this will help the seasoned flour stick to them,So Do Not Pat Dry.
- 3. In a deep frying pan or deep fryer heat oil well. Perfect temperature is between 365* - 375*. Shake off any excess flour mixture from zucchini slices and carefully drop into hot oil. Do not crowd pan. If you overcrowd the pan the temperature will drop & your zucchini will not cook properly.
- 4. Fry until golden all around. With a slotted spoon lift the zucchini out & allow the excess oil to drain back into the pan. Place on paper-lined plate or platter & season with some salt & oregano if needed.
- 5. Serve hot with Tzatziki sauce! KALI OREXI! ENJOY!

Steps:
- Shred zucchini into a colander and sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons salt. Allow to drain over the sink for 20 minutes.
- At the same time, mix water and flaxseed meal together until completely combined. Set aside and allow mixture to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out liquid from onions and potatoes by wringing them in a clean tea towel over the sink. Set aside.
- Combine bread crumbs, mint, dill, parsley, lemon zest, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add flaxseed meal mixture and mix to combine.
- Rinse shredded zucchini very lightly and ring out any liquid in a tea towel. Add zucchini, shredded onion, potato, and carrot to the bread crumb mixture and combine. Add flour and baking powder and combine everything once more with your hands. Set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes on the counter, or up to 3 days, covered in the refrigerator.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat, making sure the oil doesn't burn.
- Scoop zucchini mixture in 1/3-cup portions and roll into balls your hands. Working in batches, add balls to the hot oil and gently pat into a patty.

Steps:
- Salt the zucchini generously and leave to drain in a colander for one hour, tossing and squeezing the zucchini from time to time. Take up handfuls of zucchini, and squeeze out all of the moisture. Alternately, wrap in a clean dish towel, and squeeze out the water by twisting at both ends.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the shredded zucchini, herbs, cumin, bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and feta. Mix together well. Take up a small handful of the mixture; if it presses neatly into a patty, it is the right consistency. If it seems wet, add more breadcrumbs or a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour. When the mixture has the right consistency, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or longer.
- Heat 1 inch of olive oil in a large frying pan until rippling, or at about 275 degrees. Meanwhile, take up heaped tablespoons of the zucchini mixture, and form balls or patties. Lightly dredge in flour.
- When the oil is very hot, add the patties in batches to the pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once with a spider or slotted spoon. Remove from the oil, and drain briefly on a rack. Serve with plain Greek style yogurt if desired.

Give it a few seconds to form a crust before adding the next slice (so they won't stick together). Cook no more than 5-6 slices on each batch. In order to not get overcrowded in the pan, and the temperature to remain high. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until deep golden and then using two forks flip them to cook on the other side as well for another 3-4 minutes. Transfer on paper towels.
