Instructions

1. Put the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix well with your hands.
2. Set the colander over a bowl and drain for at least 30 minutes.
3. Take small handfuls of zucchini and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. Move to a dry bowl.
4. Add the scallions, mint, feta, red pepper flakes and black pepper and mix.
5. Add the eggs, breadcrumbs and remaining salt and mix until the mixture holds its shape when formed.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls or patties and roll lightly in breadcrumbs.
8. Fry 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
9. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm with tzatziki.
