Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini and Feta Fritters, known as 'Mücver' in Turkish cuisine, are delightful savory pancakes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Grated zucchini is the star ingredient, mixed with crumbled feta cheese (beyaz peynir), eggs, flour, and a generous amount of fresh herbs like dill, parsley, and spring onions/scallions. The mixture is spooned into hot oil and shallow-fried until golden brown. The salty tang of the feta perfectly complements the mild sweetness of the zucchini, while the herbs provide a refreshing aromatic lift. Served warm or at room temperature, they are almost always accompanied by a dollop of garlic yogurt for dipping. Mücver represents the ingenuity of home cooking, turning simple vegetables into a crave-worthy dish.
