Mücver (turkish Courgette/zucchini Fritters)
  1. Mix the shredded courgettes with 1 tsp salt. Leave to drain in a colander set on top of a bowl for 10 minutes.

  2. Squeeze most of the water out of the courgettes. It's easiest to do this by putting it in a clean cheesecloth or kitchen towel. Keep in mind you can usually squeeze out a lot more than you think! After the first few squeezes, you'll need to keep the pressure up for a few seconds before any liquid comes out. The courgette should lose at least ⅓ of its weight in the process.

  3. In a bowl, mix the shredded courgette, onion, flour, egg, ground coriander, dill and some pepper with a fork or whisk. Carefully fold in the cheese. Feta will usually provide enough salt, but add a little if your salt isn't very salty.

  4. Heat a thick bottomed large frying pan over medium heat. Add plenty of olive oil (you should cover the base by c. ½ cm (⅕ in)). Make a tiny test fritter to check for seasoning. Once you're happy with it, use a tablespoon to scoop out the courgette mixture and into the frying pan, flattening a little once in the pan. These are rustic fritters, so don't worry too much about the shape. The fritters should be the size of a small burger. Fry until golden brown on both sides, around 5-7 minutes in total. Transfer to a plate covered with kitchen paper to drain any excess fats.

  5. Serve at room temperature alongside a small bowl of yoghurt.
