Turkish zucchini fritters, also known as 'Mücver,' are a delightful and flavorful dish that's perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal. This recipe combines fresh zucchini, carrots, dill, and a few basic ingredients to create crispy, golden fritters that are both healthy and delicious. Whether you're familiar with Turkish cuisine or new to it, these fritters are sure to impress with their unique blend of textures and flavors.
- Grate and Drain: Make sure to grate the zucchini and carrots finely and drain any excess moisture using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to ensure your fritters are crispy and not soggy.
- Use Fresh Dill: Fresh dill adds a distinct flavor that’s essential to this recipe. If you can't find fresh dill, you can substitute with dried dill, but use it sparingly as it's more concentrated.
- Moderate Heat: Cook the fritters over medium heat. Too high and they'll burn on the outside before cooking through; too low and they'll absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Test First Fritter: Try cooking a small test fritter first to check for seasoning. This allows you to adjust the salt and pepper in the batter if necessary.
- Keep Warm: If you're making a larger batch, keep the cooked fritters warm in an oven set to low heat (around 200°F or 95°C) until you're ready to serve.
Turkish zucchini fritters with carrots and dill are a versatile and tasty addition to any meal. They're simple to prepare and make a great use of fresh vegetables. Enjoy them hot from the pan with a dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of flavor. Whether you're serving them to guests or enjoying them solo, these fritters are sure to be a hit.
