Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
2
Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Yaklaşık 30 dk.
Aşçının notu: This step is crucial for crispy fritters.
3
Firmly squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. You can use your hands, a clean kitchen towel, or paper towels.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: The drier the zucchini, the crispier the fritters will be.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, chopped yellow onion, fresh dill, fresh mint, and crumbled feta cheese.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
5
Add the lightly beaten egg to the zucchini mixture and stir well to combine.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: The mixture should be thick enough to form patties.
8
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to prevent them from soaking up too much oil.
9
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form small patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
10
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Yaklaşık 8 dk.
11
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
12
Serve the kolokythokeftedes warm with lemon wedges and a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki, if desired.
