Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups coarsely grated zucchini
2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 cup chopped scallion
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tbsp dried oregano ( preferably greek), crumbled
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup grated kefalotiri or pecorino cheese
about 2 cups safflower oil
about 2 cups olive oil
accompaniment: 8 oz whole-milk plain yogurt ( preferably greek)

Directions:

Make zucchini batter: Stir together zucchini and salt, then drain in a colander set over a bowl, 1 hour.
Stir together zucchini and remaining fritter ingredients. Season well with freshly ground black pepper. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
Fry fritters: Heat enough of frying oils to measure 3/4 inch in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F.
Spoon heaping tablespoons of fritter mixture into oils and fry in small batches without crowding, turning fritters, until golden brown, about 1 minute.
Transfer fritters with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and return oil to 350°F between batches. Serve hot.
