Ingredients

Fritters

3 medium zucchinis, grated
250g halloumi, grated
7 spring onions, finely sliced
1 large handful fresh dill, chopped
2 whole eggs
100g plain flour
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt & pepper, to taste
Olive oil for frying

Garlicky Yoghurt Dip

250g thick Greek yoghurt
1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
Salt & pepper, to taste

Method

Salt the grated zucchini lightly, leave for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Combine zucchini, halloumi, spring onions, dill, eggs, flour, garlic, lemon zest and seasoning. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, and dill. Season to taste and refrigerate.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Spoon in the mixture, flatten slightly and fry 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Once cooked, place on absorbent paper to catch excess oil. Continue to cook in batches.

Serve hot or cold with yoghurt dip , extra dill and lemon wedges.
