Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 stalks spring onions
- 1 large garlic clove
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out any excess liquid to ensure the pancakes are not watery.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, crumbled feta cheese, eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, finely chopped dill, mint leaves, and spring onions. Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive batter forms.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each pancake and gently shape it into a patty. Place the patties into the hot olive oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each pancake for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of tzatziki or your favorite dipping sauce.
