Elevate your summer meals with feta and carrot zucchini fritters

Zucchini fritters truly embody the taste of summer, bringing to mind warm days spent outdoors and flavours from childhood. Although preparing zucchini fritters seems simple, there are ways to elevate this classic dish to a whole new level. Today, we'll discover two secret ingredients that will change everything and make your zucchini fritters a hit at any dinner or lunch.

Preparing zucchini fritters with feta cheese and carrot is just as easy as the traditional version, but the final result will surprise even the most demanding gourmets. These two ingredients add exceptional moisture and intense flavour to the fritters, giving the dish a new character.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium zucchinis,
• 2 eggs,
• 1 large carrot,
• 1 onion,
• 100 grams feta cheese,
• half a bunch of dill,
• salt and pepper to taste,
• wheat flour (for thickening),
• fat for frying (oil or clarified butter).

Preparation:

1. Prepare the vegetables: Grate the zucchini, carrot, and onion on a coarse grater. Crumble the feta into smaller pieces, and chop the dill.
2. Prepare the batter: Transfer the grated zucchini to a bowl, add salt, and set aside for 30 minutes to release water. Then, squeeze it out thoroughly. Add the grated carrot, onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, eggs, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Gradually add flour, mixing until you achieve a thick consistency.
3. Fry the fritters: Heat a pan with fat. Place portions of batter onto the heated pan and fry on both sides until golden brown. Place the finished fritters on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.

Zucchini fritters with feta and carrot taste best hot, served with your favourite sauce, such as garlic or yogurt sauce. You can also add fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, or cucumber.
