Instructions
Make The Yogurt Dip:
- Add all of the ingredients for the yogurt dip in a bowl and mix well. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
Prepare The Fritters:
- Add the spinach and collard greens in a large mixing bowl. Add the ⅓ teaspoon of salt and rub the greens until they start to look a bit mushy and release their moisture.
- Grate the red onion on the coarse scale of a hand grater. Add to the bowl as well.
- Add the spring onions as well, the dill, mint, and parsley. Mix well to combine. Then cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Take the bowl out of the fridge and stir in the egg.
- In a small bowl dissolve the baking soda in the lemon juice. Add to the greens mixture and stir to combine.
- Lastly, stir in the feta cheese and the flour. The mixture will be very moist but firm enough to be able to shape it into a pattie. Otherwise, add a little bit more flour to it. But be careful not to add too much, add a tablespoon at a time.
- Half-fill a frying pan with frying oil and heat over high. Using an ice cream scoop take spoonfuls of the mixture and shape each one into a flattened pattie. Carefully add them one by one into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd them in the pan.
- Using two forks flip the fritters as necessary until they become deep golden all over. Transfer on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with the yogurt sauce on the side and enjoy!
