Zucchini And Carrot Fritters With Yogurt Mint Dip Recipes

Steps:

• To make the batter for the fritters: in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, lemon zest and pepper.
• Pour dry ingredients into wet; whisk until just blended (do not overmix). Batter should be slightly thicker than cream. If it's too thick, add some milk; if it's too thin, sprinkle with additional flour. Stir in the carrots, zucchini and scallions. Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
• To make the yogurt dip: using a mortar and pestle or the back of a knife, mash together the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, yogurt, mint and 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Fill a wide saucepan with 1 inch of olive oil; heat until the temperature registers 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer (or until a small drip of batter browns immediately). Line a cookie sheet with paper towels. Working in batches, drop battered vegetables by the tablespoon into the oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to the cookie sheet to drain. Transfer fritters to a platter or plate; sprinkle with salt and serve with yogurt dip.

Steps:

• 1. Grate the zucchini straight on to a clean dish towel and cover with another. Pat well and let stand for 10 minutes until zucchini are dry.
• 2. Meanwhile, to make the dip, mix the yogurt , cucumber, dill, and pepper to taste in a serving bowl. Cover and let chill.
• 3. Tip zucchini into a large bowl. Stir in the garlic, scallions, cheese, herbs, nutmeg, flour, and pepper to taste. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and stir into the zucchini batter - the batter will be quite lumpy and uneven but this is fine.
• 4. Heat the oil in a large, wide pan over medium heat. Drop 4 Tbsp of the batter into the skillet, with space in between and cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides. Remove, drain on paper towels, and keep warm. Cook the second batch of fritters in the same way. ( there should be 8 fritters total)
• 5. Serve the fritters hot with the dip, garnished with lemon quarters.
