These golden fritters are proof that vegetables can steal the show. With the creamy tang of Suluguni cheese, the earthy comfort of potatoes and carrots, and the fresh bite of chives, this dish is a celebration of flavor and texture. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with savory goodness—these fritters are perfect for brunch, a light dinner, or as a party snack that’ll vanish in minutes. And yes, they’re healthier than meat, but no less indulgent.
🧺 Ingredients:
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 2 potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- 100 g Suluguni cheese, grated
- A handful of fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons semolina or flour (for binding)
- Oil for shallow frying
🔪 Instructions:
- Prep the veggies:
- Grate the zucchini, potatoes, and carrot into a large bowl.
- Sprinkle a little salt over the zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean towel or cheesecloth. This step is key to getting crispy fritters.
- Mix the magic:
- Add the grated potatoes and carrot to the zucchini.
- Toss in the Suluguni cheese and chopped chives.
- Crack in the eggs and season with salt and black pepper.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a spoonful of semolina or flour to help bind it.
- Shape and fry:
- Heat a skillet with a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and gently flatten them into fritters.
- Fry each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve with flair:
- Plate them up with a dollop of yogurt or a smoky paprika sauce.
- Garnish with extra chives or a sprinkle of chili flakes if you like a kick.
💡 Tips & Twists:
- Make it festive: Use cookie cutters to shape the fritters into stars or hearts for parties.
- Add crunch: Mix in crushed walnuts or sunflower seeds for texture.
- Go sugar-free gourmet: Serve with a tropical mango salsa or a sugar-free garlic aioli.
- Batch it up: These freeze beautifully. Just reheat in the oven for a quick snack.
