4 pounds zucchini, shredded
2 bunches scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped
2 tablespoons salt
1 black pepper, freshly ground
2 jalapeno chilies, finely chopped
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup canola oil, for frying
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 lime, juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

Place zucchini and scallion in a colander. Toss with salt and let drain for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Squeeze excess moisture from the zuccini with yoru hands and transfer to a bowl. Season with black pepper as desired.
Add jalapeno, garlic, eggs, and flour and mix well.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, place scant 1/3 cup measures of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil. Press the mixture down to form an even, flat cake.
Fry 3-4 minutes of the first side, flip and fry 2-3 minutes on the other side. (Reduce heat to medium if fritters are browning too quickly). Drain on a wire rack.
Repeat.
Combine sour cream, lime and cilantro and blend until smooth. Serve with fritters.
