Zucchinipuffer / Courgette Fritter

Last weekend I spent it with Q, and we had a great time. I tried a couple of new things food-wise that really impressed. This is one of them.

Initially I thought it was a burger but then my friend told me that it was zucchini/courgette. So we gave it a try, and it was really good (and we were a bit hungry too 🙂 So I tried to find something in the Internet and I went for this recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini/courgette shredded (you can try 3)
  • 1 small onion shredded or 4-5 spring onions chopped
  • 1 small potato shredded
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 bunch of dill
  • 1/2 bunch of parsley
  • 100g feta cheese
  • 150g plain flour
  • salt + pepper
  • sunflower oil for frying.

Process:

  • Squeeze the liquid from the zucchini. Leave the zucchini in a bowl
  • Add onion, potato to the zucchini.
  • Add finely chopped dill and parsley to the zuchini
  • Whisk the eggs a bit and add it to the mix.
  • Add the feta cheese shredded too with your fingers.
  • Mix all well. Add salt and pepper. Taste it.
  • Add the flour and mix well. You should have a nice butter.
  • In a deep pan, heat up the sunflower oil. Once it is hot, put a big spoon of the butter and deep fry until golden. Turn over and do the same.
  • Remove the fritter from the pan and put it on paper towels to absorbe the oil
  • Repeat the process until the butter is over.

To be honest, I think it didnt’t taste like the ones I tried last weekend, but it was good enough! Maybe more salt/pepper and one more courgette (total 3) and a bit less dill/parsley?
