Delicious Zucchini Fritters

These zucchini fritters are a great way to make use of this prolific summer vegetable.  To grate the zucchini, you can use a simple box grater or if you have one, a food processor.  The most important step is to drain the shreds of zucchini.  If there is too much moisture, the fritters will not fry properly and you will end up with soggy fritters instead of delightful crunchy ones.  Serve these delicious zucchini fritters as a side dish with a dollop of garlic yogurt.
