Courgette fritters
  1. Using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor fitted with the shredding disk, shred zucchini and onion. Place zucchini and onion in a colander set over a sink, sprinkle with salt, and toss to evenly coat. Let drain for 30 minutes, then press against the sides to extract liquid. Wrap vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to remove excess liquid; set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, stir eggs, garlic, cheese, herbs, lemon zest, and several grinds of black pepper to combine, using a fork to beat well. Add drained zucchini and onion mixture, stirring to combine. In a small bowl, whisk flour and baking to combine; add flour mixture to zucchini mixture and, using a fork, stir until incorporated. Line a large plate with paper towels; set aside.

  3. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Using a scacnt ⅓ cup scoop or measuring cup, scoop batter onto skillet to form 3-inch pancakes spaced ½- to 1-inch apart, working in batches if necessary. Cook until nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip pancakes and cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Place cooked pancakes onto prepared plate and repeat with remaining batter. Serve with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or tzatziki, if desired.
