How to prepare, step-by-step:

1. Prepare ingredients: more mature zucchini may require skinning and removal of seeds, younger doesn’t:

   

2. In a big bowl shred zucchini on medium slots of grater, generously salt, mix a bit a set aside:

   

3. After 10-15 mins carefully squeeze produced juices out and discard them (you can use hands like I did, or colander, or cheese cloths for that):

   

4. Peel and grate onion (I used big slots, as it is easier, but you can also chop them in food processor or so):

   

5. Add minced meat:

   

6. Crack 2 eggs in:

   

7. Season with black pepper and more salt if needed (but don’t forget there was some salt added already on the beginning):

   

8. Add semolina flour:

   

9. Mix everything together and leave to rest for 15-20 mins:

   

10. Warm up skillet with oil over moderate high heat. Pour bread crumbs (or flour) in a bowl. Working in batches, scoop between a tablespoon and two of meat mince and form patty (wet your hands before doing each):

    

11. Coat each with bread crumbs (or flour):

    

12. And transfer to warmed up skillet:

    

13. Fry until golden brown from one side, then carefully flip to another with a spatula and fry until cooked through:

    

14. Transfer ready patties to a plate:

    

15. And serve with your choice of side dish or a bun:
