Zucchini Mozzarella Fritters

One of my gifts for Christmas was Mario Batali's new cookbook, America Farm to Table, and this recipe is from this collection - it is sooooooooo delicious!

Grate 2 large zucchini into a bowl 2 cloves thinly sliced garlic, 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, and 8 oz fresh mozzarella cut into 1/4 cubes.  Stir to mix well.

Add 1 T freshly ground pepper and 1 tsp kosher salt, zest of 2 lemons, 3 large eggs (beaten) and stir to combine.

Add 1/4 cup self-rising flour and stir gently til barely mixed.

In a large skillet heat 1/4 cup olive oil just under the smoking point, and drop in dollops of the mixture gently into the hot oil  (don't crowd the pan.)

Cook about 2 min on each side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with lemon wedges.

(Be sure to squeeze the lemon over the fritters - as that adds just ther right flavor!)
