Mommy Hiker [Food Series] Zucchini Fritters (Mücver)

December 04, 2013

Mücver is one of my husband's favorite dishes (in case I haven't mentioned it, he is from Istanbul, Turkey). I have had mücver many times, but I think because of my hubby's affinity for his mom's mücver, I was always terrified to make it! I have tried my hand at numerous Turkish dishes throughout our 16 year relationship and have fared pretty well, so after our summer excursion to turkey this year, where we ate our weight in mücver, I came home with the determination to give

Ingredients:
5 Small Zucchinis grated
4 Green Onions chopped (whites & greens)
1/3 cup fresh chopped dill
1/3 cup fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup fresh chopped mint
2 eggs
1 cup of feta (this is not traditional and by no means mandatory, but I love it!)
salt & pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups of flour (give or take a little)
olive oil for frying (about a 1/4 inch in frying pan, then add more as you need per batch)

First thing I do is "sweat" the grated zucchini by putting it in a colander with some salt for at least 30 minutes. This will draw out all of the excess water from the zucchini. Throw all of the ingredients...
