Tzatziki For Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• In a colander, sprinkle zucchini with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; toss to combine, and let stand at room temperature 45 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out any remaining juice.
• In a large bowl, combine zucchini, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, scallions, dill, mint, eggs, and cheese. Fold in flour until just combined.
• Line a large platter or baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Using half the batter, drop heaping teaspoons directly into pan to create about fourteen 1 1/2-inch patties, each about 1/4 inch thick. Cook patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer zucchini fritters to paper-towel-lined platter, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining batter and tablespoon oil. Serve immediately with tzatziki.

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sesame seeds, cumin, and cayenne; cook, stirring, until the sesame seeds have begun to brown lightly and the spices are very fragrant, about 2 minutes; set aside.
• In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, egg white, salt, and 1 tablespoon oil. Pulse several times to form a semismooth paste. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in onion mixture. Fold in flour until just combined. Using your hands, form batter into 1 1/4-inch patties, each about 1/3 inch thick.
• In a 12-inch saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Cook half the patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a paper-towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining patties and tablespoon oil. Serve immediately with tzatziki.

Steps:

• In a colander, sprinkle cucumber with salt; toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, vinegar, oil, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Stir together yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl. Add lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper; whisk until smooth. Pour into a serving dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate 8 hours before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Mix the zucchini, chopped parsley, herbs, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl. Slowly add flour, mixing to batter like consistency.
• 2. Heat the olive oil in a pan.
• 3. Spoon 2-3 Tbl of the zucchini mixture into the pan, spreading slightly to flatten. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
• 4. To make Tzatziki sauce, mix yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic powder and salt well.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then put them in a large mixing bowl.
• Mash them up with a potato masher! There should still be some whole ones in there.
• Note: you can use a food processor this, but DO NOT PUREE. Pulse a few times so some get pureed, but some whole ones remain. Then pour into a large mixing bowl. I'd rather use the potato masher for authenticity and since it ends up in the mixing bowl anyway, washing the potato masher is far easier than washing the food processor.
• Blend the chickpeas with the garlic and tahini.
• Add all the spices and meld together.
• Fold in the flour and mix together.
• Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes.
• While the mixture is sitting, make the tzatziki sauce: start by mixing the yogurt with the lemon juice.
• Mix in the spices.
• Finely dice the cucumber (1 cuke should be enough) then add it to the tzatziki. Voila, it's done! Now get back to the fritter mixture.
• With your hands, form 2" balls and flatten into discs. There should be about 30 or so.
• Fry in the olive oil about 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Blot on paper towels, serve, and enjoy!
