Cut up your zucchini into small pieces as per video. Add to a bowl with a large pinch of salt, mix through with hands and cover with plastic wrap. Let these sit in the fridge overnight. 2. Once your zucchini have been resting in the fridge overnight, remove the zucchini from the fridge and drain the excess water that has been released over night..do not rinse. 3. Remove the outside stems of the zucchini flowers and the middle bud inside the flower and give them a rinse/clean. 4. Add your chopped basil to the chopped zucchini in the bowl along with your chopped zucchini flowers, parmesan cheese, 2 eggs and dry yeast. Mix it all the way through until combined. 5. Gradually add your flour and water in mixing it through in between.. the mixture goes by consistency so until you reach a creamy batter-like mixture then it is ready.. if you feel you need to add a little more water or flour then add it until you reach it as per the video. 6. When the mixture is ready, cover with glad wrap and rest on the bench for 1 hour.. you will notice after this time the mixture has risen. 7. Add vegetable oil to a pan and put to a high flame to let the oil get hot. 8. Add spoonfuls to the pan to create the fritters. Reduce heat to a medium flame so they cook all the way through. Flip over when they have reached a golden colour. 9. Add to a paper towel to drain excess oil. 10. Pair with @cqspritz mojito & enjoy! #zucchinifritters #zucchini #fritters #calabria #calabrian #calabrese #nonna #cook #cooking #fyp #italia #italy #italiancooking #italian #nonnaconcettina #cqspritz #recipe #simplerecipe #chef #mangia #eat #food #salute #cheers #bonappetit #italiancooking #recipe #delicious | CQ Pasta
