Instructions
- Grate the zucchini coarsely. (A food processor works well.)
- Add the scallions, dill, cheese, paprika, flour and eggs.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. (a non-stick pan will work well and does not need too much oil.)
- Drop the zucchini mixture by large tablespoons and spread them out to make thin patties.
- Cook until crisp and brown on both sides.
Delicious recipe!
