Conventional Method
  1. Place zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with some sea salt. Set aside for 10 minutes then use your hands to squeeze excess liquid from zucchini.
  2. Combine zuchini, shallots, cheeses, eggs, herbs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes so fritters are easier to roll.
  3. Remove mixture from fridge. If too runny, add some more flour.
  4. Roll into small patties. Dust patties with extra flour for a crispier coating.
