ZUCCHINI FRITTERS WITH FETA AND DILL



Zucchini Fritters with Feta and Dill image

In Greece, fritters are called keftedes and they vary from island to island and with the season. Keftedes can be made with tomatoes, chickpeas or even with ground meat, like the ones my mom serves at family gatherings. Zucchini is a great vegetable for keftedes. I grate the entire thing, seeds and all, salt it, wring it out, and then make the fritters. These keftedes can be served as an hors d'oeuvre or a starter course and they don't even need a sauce; just sprinkle with some salt and crumbled feta on top.

Time 25m

Yield about 8 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium zucchini
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces feta cheese, coarsely chopped or crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus whole dill for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 large scallion, white and green parts, thinly sliced on the bias
Grated zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg
Canola oil, for pan frying
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Coarse sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a grater onto a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with the salt and let it rest while you gather and prep the remaining ingredients. Wrap the zucchini in the towel and wring as much liquid out of it as possible, discarding the liquid. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, feta, dill, mint, garlic, scallion and all but 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest. Stir in the flour and egg and mix until well combined.
  • Add the oil to a large shallow pan, about 1/4 inch, or enough so that when all the fritters are in the pan, the oil comes halfway up their sides. Place the pan over medium-high heat. Form fritters by hand or using a 1/4-cup measure, and fry them in the hot oil in batches. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on each side, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Transfer the fritters to a serving platter and garnish each with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a small sprig of dill. Sprinkle the reserved lemon zest and some coarse sea salt over the serving platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium zucchini
1 medium onion, halved
2 tablespoons Greek-style plain full-fat yogurt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
Yogurt-Dill Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; set aside.
  • Grate onion on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl. Transfer grated onion to a piece of cheese cloth. Squeeze excess liquid from onion and discard. Transfer onion to a clean medium bowl; you should have about 1/2 cup grated onion. Grate zucchini into bowl with onion on the large holes of a box grater; you should have about 3 1/2 cups grated zucchini. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss to combine; let stand 30 seconds.
  • Transfer zucchini and onion mixture to a clean piece of cheesecloth and cover. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible and discard. Transfer zucchini and onion to a large bowl. Add yogurt and egg; season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Slowly add 3/4 cup of the flour mixture, while folding it into the zucchini mixture. If mixture seems too wet, fold in 1/4 cup more.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, using about 3 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture, gently form a patty and place in skillet. Cook until fritters are firm and begin to turn golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn fritters and continue to cook about 2 minutes more. Turn fritters again and cook for 30 seconds; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat process with remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil as necessary.
  • Season fritters with salt and serve immediately with yogurt-dill sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Zucchini: Select firm, young zucchini with a deep green color for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grate the Zucchini: Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the zucchini. This will help release more moisture and create a crispy exterior.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: Place the grated zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  • Use a Combination of Flours: Using a blend of all-purpose flour and chickpea flour gives the fritters a crispy exterior and a tender, fluffy interior.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Enhance the flavor of the fritters with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or cilantro, and spices like cumin, paprika, or garlic powder.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the fritters, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Dipping Sauce: Serve the fritters with a variety of dipping sauces such as tzatziki, ranch dressing, or a simple lemon-herb sauce.

Conclusion:

Zucchini fritters with dill are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. By following these tips, you can create crispy, flavorful fritters that are sure to impress your family and friends.
