Zucchini Preparation

1. Shred the zucchini in a food processor or box grater until you have 3 cups. Place the zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt on the zucchini and stir, allow to sit for 10 minutes. When it's done, squeeze the grated zucchini free of excess water.
2. Mix the squeezed zucchini and all the remaining ingredients together and using a ¼ cup scoop, make 5-6 zucchini fritters.
