Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb zucchini, grated
1 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (or fairly strong aged goat cheese)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 -5 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp flour
1/4 cup roughly chopped toasted pine nuts
1 bunch chopped stemmed fresh dill
1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried oregano, lightly crushed ( use freshed)
2 -4 cloves garlic, finely chopped ,to taste
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil, for pan frying

Directions:

Toss the grated zucchini with the kosher salt in a colander, and set aside for 5 minutes (no longer, or it will be mush).
Rinse in cold water, and squeeze dry in a kitchen towel, or press in the colander until dry.
Combine the cheese, egg, green onions, flour, pine nuts, dill, oregano, garlic, and pepper in a medium bowl, and fold in the zucchini.
Form into 24 small cakes (about 2 Tbsp of mixture for each) or 8 larger cakes, and saute in olive oil over medium-high heat until browned, turning once, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
Yield: 24 cakes.
