Directions
  • Wash the zucchini and remove the ends. Grate finely with a kitchen grater, place in a large colander and salt lightly. Place a bowl underneath to catch the liquid. Now place a plate on top of the grated zucchini, weigh it down with a weight and let it drain for about an hour. This will remove any excess water.

  • Then, using a wooden spoon, squeeze out the remaining water and place the drained zucchini in a bowl.
  • Add the wheat flour, yeast, parmesan and water to the bowl as well.
    250 g pastry flour, 50 g parmesan cheese, 2 g dry yeast, 200 ml water
  • Season with salt and pepper and mix everything very thoroughly with a wooden spoon. A slightly viscous and sticky mixture should now have formed. Cover with a cloth and let rest for 2 hours at room temperature.

  • After resting, heat the sunflower oil in a large pot.

  • Once the oil is nice and hot, take a tablespoonful of the zucchini mixture for each ball and place it in the oil bath with the help of a second spoon. Fry the balls for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning several times with a slotted spoon. Once they have turned a nice golden brown color all around, remove them with the slotted spoon and drain the finished balls briefly on a paper towel.
  • Finally, arrange them all on a large plate and serve hot!
    Buon appetito!
