They say it’s a ‘starter’ but I’ll have the whole plate and won’t need a main dish. Another typical Greek meze! They need to be crispy so heat up your oil and don’t overcrowd the pan!

For the patties:

  • 1 kg Zucchini
  • 250 grs Soft Feta Cheese , crumbled
  • 50 grs Breadcrumbs
  • 50 grs all-purpose flour
  • 2 fresh Scallions , white and green parts chopped
  • ½ cup fresh Parsley , leaves picked and chopped
  • ½ cup fresh Mint , leaves picked and chopped
  • 2 Eggs , lightly beaten
  • 200 ml Seed Oil , for the frying, such as peanut oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground Black Pepper

For the Dip:

  • 1 tablespoon EVOO , Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons White Vinegar , mild
  • ½ teaspoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon dry Mint
  • pinch Sea Salt

Instructions

For the patties:

  • In a food processor with the grater on take through the Zucchini having removed their tip. Remove from the food processors bowl and keep on the side in a strainer for 20 minutes with a pinch of salt added.
  • Squeeze tightly in your palms the grated zucchini to remove the excess water and add to a big bowl. In the same bowl add the rest of the ingredients except the Feta cheese and mix well. Then add the Feta cheese and fold.
  • Put a non-stick pan on medium heat, add the seed oil and heat up without burning. Spoon (with a tablespoon) from the mixture, form patties and carefully add to the pan. It should take 6-8 patties.
  • Fry without moving and in 2-3 minutes turn the patties and continue frying until you get a nice golden color. With a slotted spoon take off from the pan and place in a flat dish that kitchen paper has been placed on to absorb the excess oil.

For the Dip:

  • Add all the ingredients in a bowl and fold to combine.
