Zucchini Fritters (Pittolili)

Pittolili were one of those dishes we all looked forward to when nonna was cooking. In our family we always called them pittolili, but they are essentially simple zucchini fritters. Every family and every dialect has its own name and its own way of making them, which is part of what makes Calabrian and southern Italian cooking so special. Crispy, comforting, and somehow convincing every grandkid to happily eat their vegetables.
