Zucchini Fritters Recipe Source: Casual Cuisines of the World - Taverna Serves 8 as an appetizer, 4 as a side dish Although these fritters are at their best when hot, in many Turkish cafés they are served at room temperature accompanied by the yogurt-cucumber sauce called cacik. Traditionally part of the meze course, they also make a nice side dish for seafood, poultry or lamb. Other necessary recipes: Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce Helpful Hints: Vegetables & Grains, Frying RECIPE INGREDIENTS 1 lb small zucchini, coarsely grated Salt 1/2 lb feta cheese, or equal parts feta and asseri or ricotta 6 green onions, minced 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup all-purpose flour Freshly ground pepper Peanut oil for frying RECIPE METHOD Place the zucchini in a sieve or colander, salt it lightly and toss to mix. Let stand for 30 minutes to draw out the excess moisture. Using a kitchen towel, squeeze the zucchini dry and place it in a bowl. Crumble the cheese over the zucchini and add the green onions, dill, mint, parsley, eggs, flour and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well. In a deep frying pan over medium-high heat, pour in the peanut oil to a depth of 1/4 inch. When the oil is hot, using a serving spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, being careful not to crowd the pan. Fry, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain. Keep warm until all the fritters are cooked. Arrange the fritters on a warmed platter and serve hot.
