Ingredients

  • 2 large courgettes
  • 2 carrots (peeled)
  • 1 medium potato (peeled )
  • 1 medium onion (peeled & finely chopped)
  • 4 eggs
  • 225 grams plain (all purpose) flour
  • 75 millilitres olive oil
  • ½ bunch fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • ½ bunch fresh dill (finely chopped)
  • 1 dessert spoon dried mint
  • 1 dessert spoon chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1 dessert spoon baking powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First of all, preheat your oven to 180 °C
  2. Grate your courgettes, carrots and potato and add to a large bowl.
  3. Add your onion.
  4. Mix the ingredients together and use a kitchen towel to press down on the mixture and soak up excess moisture.
  5. Now add your parsley & dill and mix again.
  6. Now sprinkle in the dried mint, chilli flakes and salt & pepper and mix.
  7. Beat the eggs and pour these over your mixture before stirring everything together.
  8. Now add your flour and baking powder to a sieve and sieve over your mixture.
  9. Stir this in until all the flour is absorbed.
  10. Pour the oil over the mixture and stir.
  11. Now grease a baking tray of your choice and pour your mixture into the tray.
  12. Spread around to the edges to make the thickness roughly even all over.
  13. When your oven has reached the correct temperature, place your tray in the centre of the oven and bake for around 40-45 minutes.
  14. When you think your oven baked potato and courgette fritters are cooked, prod the centre with a knife to check the mixture is set.
  15. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into slices.
  16. Serve on its own or with natural yoghurt and a simple salad on the side.

Notes

  • Turkish oven baked potato and courgette fritters can be made without the potato. If you want to do this, substitute your potato for an extra courgette.
  • If you're in Turkey, baking powder is sold in sachets and is called kabartma tozu.
  • We cut our potato and courgette fritters into ten slices so we have said there are ten mücver servings in this recipe. You can cut into smaller servings if you like.
  • Your mücver will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for around 3 days.
  • Please not that nutritional information is calculated by a 3rd party API. If you have any special dietary requirements, please do your own due diligence.
