Vegetable Fritters With Yoghurt Feta Dip Food

VEGETABLE FRITTERS WITH YOGHURT FETA DIP

Steps:

• Wash the vegetables and let them drain.
• Grate the zucchini and sprinkle some salt on top. Let them sit for half an hour in a colander and then squeeze to remove all excess water.
• Grate the potato and squeeze out the water as well.
• Put the drained potato and zucchini in a bowl. Add the grated carrot, the parsley, the egg, as well as both cheeses, the mint, salt and pepper and oregano.
• (Easy on the salt, as feta is salty and we added some salt on the grated zucchini.)
• Put the onion, the tomato paste and the bouillon in a food processor and mix to puree.
• Empty it in the bowl and add the bread and mix to make the bread crumbs. Finally add the Quaker oats and mix well.
• Let the mixture stand in the fridge, for at least half an hour, to absorb the fluids.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet or non-stick frying pan.
• Form them into patties and dredge them with the flour.
• Fry on both sides until golden and remove them on kitchen paper.
• Serve them with Greek Yoghourt and Feta Dip.

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS WITH YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• 1. Grate the zucchini straight on to a clean dish towel and cover with another. Pat well and let stand for 10 minutes until zucchini are dry.
• 2. Meanwhile, to make the dip, mix the yogurt , cucumber, dill, and pepper to taste in a serving bowl. Cover and let chill.
• 3. Tip zucchini into a large bowl. Stir in the garlic, scallions, cheese, herbs, nutmeg, flour, and pepper to taste. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and stir into the zucchini batter - the batter will be quite lumpy and uneven but this is fine.
• 4. Heat the oil in a large, wide pan over medium heat. Drop 4 Tbsp of the batter into the skillet, with space in between and cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides. Remove, drain on paper towels, and keep warm. Cook the second batch of fritters in the same way. ( there should be 8 fritters total)
• 5. Serve the fritters hot with the dip, garnished with lemon quarters.

MEDITERRANEAN ZUCCHINI FRITTERS WITH SENSATIONAL YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For Sensational Dipping Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a mini-processor and whiz to combine. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to suit your taste. Thin with a little more water, if necessary. The sauce should be made first to allow flavours to blend and mingle and cool in the refrigerator. (can be made up to 2 days ahead).
• For Zucchini Fritters: Lightly salt the grated zucchini and put in a colander to drain excess water for ½ an hour to 45 minutes. Squeeze out excess water by pressing on handfuls of zucchini at the end of this time.
• Wilt the onion and garlic in the 1 tblsp olive oil, in a small saucepan, for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent and softened.
• Combine all the fritter ingredients in a large bowl to make a uniform mixture (this includes the zucchini and wilted onion mixture). Season to suit your taste with salt and pepper (careful - the feta cheese will already be quite salty, and there will also be salt in the zucchini from the initial draining). The mixture will be soft and sticky.
• Take a generous tablespoonful of the dough and form (delicately) into a patty. Dredge in flour. Repeat, using up all zucchini mixture.
• Heat oil in large skillet, over medium-high heat, and shallow-fry patties until they are golden brown. Flip over and repeat on other side. Remove as they are fried to paper towels to drain while you continue with remaining patties in the same manner, topping up oil, if necessary.
• Serve the patties with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
