ZUCCHINI AND NIGELLA FRITTERS – SMALL VICTORIES

I immediately thought of Turkish Mucver when I saw this recipe.

I added a bit of feta & parmesan, and doubled the garlic dip using yogurt (because I want to eat all her dips with a spoon in the end).

The nigella adds an interesting flavor twist – I stock it but don’t use it often, so it was nice to have a reason. They’d still be good without, but maybe the mix would need one more flavor booster (cumin?).

I used just enough olive oil enough to brown them on both sides.

Quick and delicious – and don’t skip the garlic and herb sauce, it finishes the dish.
