Helly's Zuchini Fritters
Helly made the Zuchini Fritters which used to be a big hit in her cafe in Wellington which she owned before moving to Darj three years back. She is now Darj's very own Cake Lady and one of my closest friends.
these are her self-made fridge magnets and they are all spice filled little steel containers. a perfect accessory for a chef! creative innit?
Ingredients
2 cups of grated raw zuchini
1 onion diced finely
5 cloves of garlic diced
salt and pepper
3 eggs
half a cup of plain natural yogurt
3 quarters a cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
optional - chopped chilli,chopped bell peppers, feta cheese, crushed walnuts or pine nuts
Serve with a simple salad of cucumber, tomatoes and fresh herbs in olive oil, pepper and lemon dressing.
Grate the zuchini and squeeze out the excess water.
add all the ingredients except for the flour and baking powder
then add the flour and baking powder. don't over mix.
heat olive oil in a shallow pan and scoop the mixture out in small proportions with a spoon
cook on medium heat until bubbles start forming on one side and then flip them over.
they should look like this - crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside.
keep them warm until serving time
We enjoyed it served hot right out of the pan with the refreshing side salad and natural homemade yogurt whip.
The final touch was Mike, Denna's better half who joined us for the all important taste review.
