Ingredients:
6 small zucchini, grated |
salt |
1/2 pound white turkish cheese or feta, crumbled |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley |
4 green onions, finely chopped |
3 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup flour |
freshly ground black pepper |
oil for frying |
tomato relish |
4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped |
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon dried mint |
1 teaspoon paprika |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt and let stand at least 20 minutes, or until it loses its juice. Squeeze dry and place in a large bowl. Add the cheese, dill, parsley, onions, eggs, flour, and pepper and mix well. Adjust the seasonings. If batter is too runny, add a little more flour.
2. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Drop batter by tablespoons into oil and fry until golden brown on all sides but still moist inside, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with Tomato Relish.
3. TOMATO RELISH:
4. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning. Set aside at room temperature for a few hours, or cover and chill for several days.
