This is just like my grandma used to make, except she cooked them in lard instead of olive oil. Nostalgia!
I was skeptical but these fritters are incredible! My kids even ate their veggies! Thank you!
I followed the recipe but they turned out dry. Maybe less bread crumbs next time?
Dry? That’s weird. I made them last week and they were juicy for me. Maybe your pan was too hot or something?
I had the same issue! I think cutting down the breadcrumbs does help, or maybe try adding a bit more zucchini for moisture? Just a thought!
Followed the recipe but mine fell apart. Any tips? 😕
Great recipe, only took 45 mins! 🕒 I made a spicy dip too! Yum!
These fritters are amazing! The pork and zucchini combo is to die for. Absolutely loved them!
Waste of ingredients… too greasy and soggy for my taste.
Too many ingredients! Can’t believe this needs 2 eggs AND 500g of pork. Simpler is better.
Y’all are crazy, this recipe is perfect! Got my guests asking for more! 🎉
I’m not sure how I feel about zucchini in fritters. Can’t taste it much, but hey, they brown nicely!
Why use pork? Can you use chicken instead? My grandmother did chicken, right?
Not bad but kinda bland. I think it needs more garlic.
Delicious! Gonna add more garlic next time though. Yum!
Glad you liked it! More garlic sounds like a great idea. Would definitely give it that extra kick!
I substituted with turkey and it worked just fine. Healthier option if u ask me!
These were amazing! The kids loved them, even with the zucchini! 🤩
