- STEP 2Make Fritters: Lay out a layer of paper towels and spread out grated courgette. Sprinkle courgette with salt and let sit for at least thirty minutes and up to an hour. Squeeze out all excess moisture from courgette.
- STEP 3Put drained courgette in a large bowl with dill, spring onions, nutmeg, and feta. Mix to combine. Stir in eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour until dough comes together, adding slightly more flour if dough is too wet to form patties. Form dough into 3-4 inch patties.
