Discover a delicious and healthy recipe for buckwheat and zucchini fritters served with a creamy yogurt dip. This dish is perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, combining wholesome ingredients with vibrant flavors.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Preparing the Fritters
Start by grating the zucchinis and squeezing out excess moisture using a clean towel. In a large bowl, combine buckwheat flour, grated zucchini, eggs, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a spoon, scoop portions of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly to form fritters. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Making the Yogurt Dip
For a simple and tangy dip, mix 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice, a minced garlic clove, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the warm fritters on a plate and serve with the chilled yogurt dip on the side. Garnish with extra herbs if desired. These fritters pair well with a fresh salad or a light vegetable side for a complete meal.
