Yiayias zucchini and feta fritters

These fritters feature kefalograviera, a popular Greek cheese typically made with sheep's milk. It's a hard, aged cheese with a nutty, sharp flavour with a texture that is firm enough to grate. If you can't find any, parmesan cheese is an acceptable substitute to use in place of the kefalograviera.

Ingredients

  • 2 free range eggs
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill, plus extra to serve
  • ½ brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ½ cup gluten-free flour (put an extra ¼ cup aside in case mixture is too wet)
  • 60 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 40 g grated kefalograviera cheese, plus extra (finely grated), to serve
  • salt and black pepper
  • 400 g grated zucchini, moisture squeezed out in a tea towel
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Greek yoghurt, to serve

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add the garlic, parsley, dill, onion, lemon zest, flour, cheeses, salt and pepper. Add the zucchini and the flour until the mixture is just holding together. Add extra flour if the mixture is too wet.
  2. Portion the mixture into 80-100g portions, then shape into a patty.
  3. Heat the olive oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add each patty to the pan and flatten slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly golden. Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
  4. Serve the patties with a dollop of Greek yoghurt, extra parsley, dill and finely grated kefalograviera.
