ucchini and feta... yes please! Found this linked from Saveur via YumSugar while checking out the recipe for Peppers Stuffed With Feta which will be added next. :) I had to look up ouzo as I assumed it was a drink but wasn't sure. I'm not a fan of anise flavors so I may skip that step completely.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups zucchini (grated and squeezed)
- 1/4 cup of feta (crumbled)
- 1 splash ouzo
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 handful herbs (such as mint, dill and parsley, chopped)
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
- flour (I used whole wheat)
- breadcrumbs (I used whole wheat)
- oil for frying
Directions:
- Mix the zucchini, feta, ouzo, garlic, green onion, herbs and egg and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix in equal parts flour and breadcrumbs until you can work with the mixture to form balls.
- Form the mixture into balls and dust in flour.
- Fry in oil until golden brown and set aside to cool.
