  • 1 shallotfinely diced
  • 2 eggsbeaten
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup goat cheesecrumbled

    • 1 cup yogurt
    • 2 garlic clovesminced
  • 1 tbsp chivesfinely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • INSTRUCTIONS

    • Grate the zucchini and put into a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, stir together and let stand for 20 minutes. The salt will work to draw the moisture out of the zucchini.
    • Squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini, with either a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, then return to a clean bowl.
    • Add the shallot, eggs, goat cheese, almond flour, salt and pepper. Then stir to combine.
    • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Using either your hands or a spoon, dollop out mounds (approximately 1/4 cup worth) of the mixture into the hot pan. Using a spatula, push down each fritter to flatten.
    • Cook the fritters 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re lightly golden.
    • Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to dab away any extra oil.
    • Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, stirring until creamy.
    • Serve the fritters with a dollop of the sauce, then enjoy!
