    1 lb zucchini, Grated
    1 teaspoon kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon table salt
    3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
    1 large egg, beaten
    3 green onions, thinly sliced
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup chopped pine nuts
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
    1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 dried oregano
    1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    olive oil
Preparation
    Combine the grated zucchini and salt.
    Set aside for 5 minutes, but no more or it will be mushy.
    Rinse in cold water and squeeze dry in a towel or press in a strainer until dry.
    Combine the cheese, egg, green onions, flour, pine nuts, dill, oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl; fold in the zucchini.
    Form into 24 small cakes (about 2 tbsp of mixture for each) and saute in olive oil, turning once, until brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
    Serve immediately.
    A good cucumber, gyro type sauce is great to serve on the side with these.
