About Kolokithokeftedes
Kolokithokeftedes are Greek zucchini fritters served as a meze or side dish. This profile follows an herb-rich version with feta, Parmesan, dill, mint and spring onion.
Zucchini keeps the centres mild and juicy while feta and Parmesan add saltiness and savoury depth. Dill, mint and spring onion make the fritters fresh and aromatic, with chilli flakes providing a light warmth.
The fritters are small, irregular rounds with crisp golden-brown edges and a tender green-flecked centre. Crumbled cheese and herbs remain visible inside the softly bound zucchini mixture.
