Serves: 4 to 6
Prep: Easy Stove Top Cooking

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups grated zucchini (from about 3 medium zucchini)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2/3 cup cornmeal
• 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• Salt and black pepper
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup Copper Hill Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredient except the olive oil.
2. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a 12-to-14 inch nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, drop ¼ cupfuls of the batter into the pan, spacing the batter a couple of inches apart. Fry 3 or 4 fritters at a time. When the fritters begin to brown along the edges, carefully flip them over with a spatula and brown the other side. Transfer them to a dish as you make them and keep them warm in a 200°F oven.
3. Serve hot.
