Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

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, recipe follows
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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
