Can't give your Zucchini away!!!! Try these, they can be served hot, cold or even at room temperature. We love them hot straight from cooking served with lemon wedges and a nice yougurt based sauce such as Cacik or Tzatziki Sauce. Found this in a local paper and such a great way to use up those Zucchini over the summer months. Ingredients:
600 g zucchini |
sea salt |
1 small onion, grated |
1 small garlic clove, finely chopped |
100 g feta cheese, crumbled |
1/4 cup dill, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped flat-leaf |
2 eggs, well beaten |
1/2 cup plain flour |
2 tablespoons rice flour |
black pepper, freshly ground |
olive oil |
lemon wedge (optional) |
Directions:
1. Grate the zucchini coarsely and put grated zucchini into a colander. Sprinkle lightly with salt and toss, then leave zucchini for 20 minutes to drain. Rinse the zucchini briefly, then squeeze it to extract as much liquid as you can, pat dry with kitchen paper and leave to dry on paper for 5 minutes .
2. Mix the zucchini with the onion, garlic, fetta, herbs and eggs in a large bowl. Sift in the flours, then season with pepper and stir to combine.
3. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Drop small tablespoons of batter into the hot oil and flatten gently. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve piping hot with a yoghurt sauce and lemon wedges.
