About

A family dish that is a great classic of Turkish cooking and one capable of converting even the most hardened zucchini hater. This recipe is the one used at Lokanta Maya, asked for by so many customers that one day Didem Şenol finally wrote it on the mirror of her restaurant.

Ingredients

1 kg (2 lb 4 oz) zucchini (courgettes)
200

Method

Grate the zucchini into a sieve or colander set over a bowl, salt it and leave to disgorge any liquid for at least 1 hour (press down on the zucchini with a plate as needed, to extract the liquid). Put the flour in a large bowl and season with freshly ground black pepper. Add the eggs, and whisk together to combine. Put the zucchini in a separate bowl, and add the dill, parsley and spring onion
