Description

These zucchini and haloumi fritters are a delightful twist on classic barbecue fare, offering a perfect balance of crisp texture and savory flavor. The grated zucchini provides a light, moist base, while the haloumi adds a satisfying chew and salty depth that holds up beautifully on the grill. Aromatic hints of fresh mint, crushed garlic, and bright lemon zest elevate the dish, creating a refreshing contrast to the smoky char from the barbecue plate. These fritters are incredibly versatile, making them an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner, a healthy lunch option, or a substantial side dish for your next outdoor cookout. They are simple to prepare with common pantry staples, yet deliver a restaurant-quality taste that will impress family and friends alike.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the coarsely grated zucchinis in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly by hand to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
  2. Transfer the drained zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the grated haloumi, lightly whisked eggs, finely chopped mint, crushed garlic, and finely grated lemon zest to the bowl.
  4. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and evenly distributed.
  5. Heat a barbecue plate or grill pan to a moderate temperature.
  6. Brush the hot surface lightly with vegetable or olive oil.
  7. Spoon quarter-cup measures of the zucchini mixture onto the grill plate, spacing them out to form small patties.
  8. Cook the fritters for approximately 2 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Carefully flip the fritters using a spatula.
  10. Cook for another 2 minutes on the second side until browned and cooked through.
  11. Transfer the cooked fritters to a heatproof serving plate.
  12. Serve warm with mixed salad leaves and lemon wedges on the side.
