Grate zucchini and toss it with 1 tsp. of salt in a large colander, let it sit for 30 min. The salt will draw water out of zucchini. Squeeze the zucchini to remove the excess water and wrap it in two sheets of paper towel, squeeze again. Don’t skip this step even if it seems fiddly as it’s important to the success of the recipe and it’s the only fiddly step! I promise. Place zucchini in a large bowl.

Chop the onion and saute in butter or oil over low heat for about 5 minutes. I chose butter. I am Russian after all. Add the onion to the bowl of zucchini along with feta cheese and dill, mix to combine. Whisk flour and eggs together, the mixture will be sticky and add to the zucchini mixture. Combine all the ingredients together. At this point you can add more salt and freshly ground pepper. I didn’t add any more salt because feta is already quite salty and in the end I was happy with the taste. Your zucchini mixture will look more like a zucchini salad rather than a pancake batter, don’t get alarmed, the egg and flour concoction will hold your patties together like magic!
