Kabak Mücveri (Turkish Zucchini Fritters) image

Fritters are very popular in the Middle East. They are eaten hot or at room temperature as a vegetable side dish or a meze. It couldn't be simpler to make, but you can dress it up with optional garnishes of black olives, tomatoes, or hard-boiled egg. The perfect use for small, sweet new zucchini. Serve alone or with a creamy garlic-lemon yogurt sauce for a perfect complement to any spicy or grilled foods that call for a cooling accompaniment.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb zucchini
1/2 cup chopped green onion (spring)
1 small yellow onion, grated
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
4 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup kasseri cheese, grated or 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • Place the zucchini in a bowl and add the green and yellow onions, dill, parsley, cheese, eggs, flour and salt and pepper to taste; mix well.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, pour in oil to a depth of ¼ inch; when the oil is hot, drop the batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the pan (or form into small patties), allow space in between fritters; fry for 2 minutes on the fist side, then turn to brown on the second side for about 3 minutes; using a slotted spatula transfer to paper towels or newspaper to drain; repeat with remaining batter.

These zucchini fritters were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making these again.
