How to make Lebanese Crispy Fritters

Why cooks start here

Lebanese Crispy Fritters is cooked the way Lebanese home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a lebanese family cook actually puts it on the table.

Lebanese Crispy Fritters are a staple on home tables, crafted with the intuition of seasoned hands. Known as 'Ejjeh Kousa' in some regions, these fritters find their way to the table as a comforting dish, often served during family lunches. The tradition of making these fritters is passed down through generations, with each cook adding their own personal touch, ensuring that no two batches are ever the same. These fritters are a celebration of simplicity and flavor, showcasing tender shreds of zucchini bound with eggs and flour, then fried to golden perfection. The result is a crisp exterior that gives way to a soft, herb-laden interior. Salt and pepper are adjusted to taste, with the final seasoning left to the discretion of the cook, making each bite a personalized delight.
