Zucchini Pate

(Mucver)

Zucchini Pate
1 medium size zucchini
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2-3 fresh green onions, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup fresh dill weed, chopped
1 tbsp flour
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 or 2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
Black pepper

First grate zucchini and then squeeze with your hands to get the water out. Then add all the ingredients above, with the egg going in last (as it makes the mixture watery quickly). Mix with a wooden spoon.

Pour some sunflower oil in a large skillet, about 1 cm deep. When the oil warms up, take a lump of the mixture (a couple large spoons' worth) and put in the skillet. Fry each side approximately 3 minutes at medium-high heat. When done, put the pieces on a plate with a paper towel to soak up extra oil.

Serve with a bit of yogurt on top of each piece - yogurt with garlic especially goes well. Mucver can also be a great sandwich for lunch:) I highly recommend it.

* This is a vegetarian dish.

Hi!
I am so happy that I found your blog! I prepared this recipe today with your stuffed zucchini and kisir recipes and it was simply gorgeous! I had to add one more egg because the first batch fell into small pieces. But with 2 eggs it worked properly!

Hi Agnes,
Thank you for the nice comment:)
I changed the egg part. You're right, 1 or 2 eggs would be better.
Sometimes zucchini is too much, sometimes eggs are too small:) Thank you for sharing your experience:)

I am glad you all liked the recipe:). I don't use regular onions for this recipe. But I can see it tuned out very good:) Sure you can use scallions.
