After half an hour, dry the grated zucchini well with a paper towel, add the egg, flour, cheese, a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well.
Put some Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain in a pan and add spoonfuls of the dough for the fritters. Cook the zucchini fritters on both sides until browned.
Lastly, serve the zucchini fritters with yogurt sauce.
