Mucver
Also known as: Mücver
Turkish zucchini fritters with feta, onion, dill, egg and wheat flour.
About Mucver
Mücver is a Turkish vegetable fritter most commonly made with zucchini. This profile follows Turkish cookery author Özlem Warren's kabak mücveri, selecting feta and sunflower oil from the recipe's stated alternatives.
Zucchini keeps the fritters mild and succulent, while feta adds salty dairy richness. Onion, spring onion, garlic and dill make the batter savoury and herbaceous, with black pepper providing gentle warmth.
The fritters are small and round with crisp, deeply golden surfaces and a tender green-flecked centre. Crumbled feta remains soft within the moist zucchini-and-herb crumb.
