KOLOKYTHAKIA TIGANITA - GREEK BATTERED FRIED ZUCCHINI / COURGETT
Here's another grear vegetarian Greek dish. Soda water in the batter keeps these thin slices of fried zucchini light and crispy. A simple recipe, serve these as an appetizer or meze, or a side dish. Recipe by Nancy Gaifyllia, she says "The key to great crispy zucchini is to slice thinly and fry at high heat so the zucchini has time to cook but not absorb a lot of oil. Use a cheese slicer, mandoline, or long-bladed knife to get uniformly thin slices." Time to make doesn't include resting time. Posted for ZWT 4.

Steps:
- Prepare zucchini: Cut zucchini slices in half if they are long. Slices measuring about 3 inches long work best.

- Make the batter: Pour the soda into a bowl, and stir in flour and salt slowly, using a whisk or fork to mix.
- Fry: Bring oil to high heat.Coat zucchini in the batter, use a fork to place pieces in oil and fry 5-6 minutes, until golden on both sides and batter puffs up. Drain on absorbent paper toweling just long enough to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot. (Serves 4 as a side dish, 6-8 as an appetizer/meze.).

Steps:
- To prepare this Greek fried zucchini recipe start by washing the zucchini. Remove the stalks and ends and slice in thin slices, approx. 0.5 cm or lengthwise. (For this fried zucchini recipe the skin is not removed, so make sure to wash it thoroughly).
- Place the zucchini in a colander along with some salt and set aside for 1 hour to drain.
- Dredge the zucchini in the flour, place them on a large platter and leave in the fridge for 3-4 hours. At this point the moisture coming out from the zucchini will transform the flour into a batter. If you don't have the time, just coat them with flour and dip each one separately in a glass of water just before frying.
- Into a medium sized frying pan pour enough vegetable oil to deep fry the zucchini. Heat the oil to medium high heat until it begins to bubble. Test if the oil is hot enough by dipping one of the zucchini rings in; if it sizzles the oil is ready. For crispy fried zucchini it is best to fry in batches for about 2 minutes, flipping them sides, until nicely coloured.
- Remove the fried zucchini using a slotted spoon and place on some paper towel to dry for 1-2 minutes. Have a taste and season. Serve while still hot with tzatziki sauce.
- To prepare this batter fried zucchini recipe, start by preparing the batter for the fried zucchini. Pour the beer in a large bowl and add the flour (sifted) a little bit at a time whilst whisking, being careful not to get lumpy. The batter for coating the fried zucchini should be more liquid (not firm), so if it's getting too firm, use less flour than this recipe calls for. Season with salt and pepper, cover the batter with some plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime wash the zucchini, remove the stalks and ends and slice in thin slices, approx. 0.5 cm or lengthwise.
- Place the zucchini in a colander along with some salt and set aside for 15-20 minutes to drain. Pat them dry with some kitchen paper.
- Dip the zucchini one at a time in the batter and fry on both sides until nicely coloured. Remove the fried zucchini using a slotted spoon and place on some paper towel to dry for 1-2 minutes.
- Enjoy this delicious batter fried zucchini while still hot with a last minute squeeze of a lemon!
