Zucchini Fritters with Garlic

4 servings

30 minutes

Zucchini pancakes with garlic are a light and aromatic dish from Russian cuisine, where vegetable pancakes are valued for their tender texture and rich flavor. Zucchini adds softness to the dish, while garlic adds spiciness and a hint of heat. Dill enhances freshness, and sour cream provides creamy tenderness. These pancakes are great as a standalone dish or as a side. They are perfect for breakfast or a light dinner, especially in summer when zucchini is fresh and available. They can be served with herbs, sour cream, or even yogurt sauces to highlight their flavor.
