Ingredients
Instructions
-
Grate the zucchinis into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture by twisting the towel. Place the dried zucchini in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and parsley to the mixing bowl with the zucchinis.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the zucchini mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until a thick batter forms.
-
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
-
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.
-
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the Mucver Zucchini Fritters hot with a dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon on top.
