Zucchini Fritters

- 6 small Zucchini, grated
- Sea salt
- ½ pound feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill

Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt and let stand at least 20 minutes, or until it loses its juice. Squeeze dry and place in a large bowl.

Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Drop batter by tablespoons into oil and fry until golden brown on all sides but still moist inside, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with Tzatziki Sauce
