Ingredients

Techniques
- 4 whole zucchini
- 5 whole extra large eggs
- 3 tbsp self-raising flour
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 5 tbsp grated pecorino romano cheese
Trim the top and bottom of the zucchini and grate them, not too small, so the fritters keep some bite.
- salt
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk well, then add salt and pepper and mix again.
- salt and pepper
Mix in both flours and the pecorino, keeping some pecorino back for the top, and whisk to a thick, creamy batter.
Squeeze the water out of the zucchini by hand a handful at a time into a new bowl; this is perhaps the most important step.

- olive oil
Heat just enough olive oil to shallow fry over medium heat.
Drop in generous tablespoons of the mixture, about six at a time, and fry about a minute per side until golden brown and crunchy, turning carefully as the top is still soft; adjust if the oil gets too hot.
Arrange on a large platter and sprinkle with the remaining pecorino while still warm.
