Zucchini pancakes are one of the most delicious Greek dishes. Although there is a recipe for kolokithokeftedes on our site for a long time, we decided to publish a slightly different version for these pancakes. The previous version was equally delicious, based on slightly different ingredients. Apart from zucchini, feta and potatoes were also used there. Although the following version of the recipe is without these additions, it is no less delicious. Kolokithokeftedes in this way we ate recently with our Cretan friends. Pancakes prepared in this way have tasted us so much that we asked for a recipe :)
Preparing them is always time-consuming, so it's best to make a larger portion at once. We know from experience that these pancakes really stand freezing, so some of them can be kept for cold months. It is also worth using the fact that summer zucchini is cheap and easily available.
From two kilos of large meaty courgettes we obtained 34 small pancakes. We have given the weight of vegetables after removing the part with the seeds. Kefalotyri cheese can be replaced with parmesan cheese.
1. Best to kolokithokeftedes will be very large courgettes, which have the thickest pulp. We start with cutting the vegetables and removing the seed part. Then zucchini grated on a small-mesh vegetable grater, sprinkle with salt and leave for about half an hour. After this time, we squeeze the juice properly.
2. Rub the onion and cephalothy cheese finely and add to the drained zucchini. The whole is supplemented with chopped koperekiem, eggs and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Remember that if you leave too much zucchini you will need to add a bit more breadcrumbs.
3. After thorough mixing, leave the whole thing in the fridge for about half an hour. We form small flat cakes. You can also form small balls but in this form you have to fry them in deep oil.
4. Eat each cake gently in flour. Fry in hot olive oil until brown.
5. After frying the pancakes can be drained from excess fat on paper towels. Kolokithokeftedes are served hot. Tastes best served with Greek yoghurt or tzatziki.
Καλή όρεξη!
Vegetable pancakes are a specialty of Greek cuisine. The multitude of vegetables available at any time of the year provokes even the ingenious use of them. Tomatokeftedes, or tomato pies, is the recipe that proves this theory. This dish is popular on the Cyclades and in the traditional cuisine of Syros, Andros, Tinos or Santorini. The most characteristic taste of tomatokeftedes is reached by the inhabitants of the latter island due to the specific taste of small tomatoes growing there.
The popular vegetable in Crete is okra, which can often be found in local greengrocers. This very healthy and low-calorie vegetable is unfortunately virtually unheard of in Poland. If you would like to try it, it's worth doing it while in Crete. Just look for one of the local taverns, which serves dishes prepared on the basis of okra. Of course, you can also prepare it yourself, for example based on the following recipe.
I have never had a good opinion about stuffed vegetables. I always associated them with a bland and not very tasty dish. Until I came across a Greek way to prepare stuffing. The proportions and its ingredients are excellent, so stuffed peppers for good has settled on our table. And the Greeks once again proved that they know how fantastic vegetables can be made. The dish needs a lot of ingredients, but the compilation tastes great, so you should not eliminate anything. If you get some stuffing, you can use it to stuff tomatoes. It will also be good, although the pepper works better due to the specific, distinctive taste. As in the case of other dishes in which feta occurs, do not use its Polish or German substitutes, because these cheeses taste completely different than the original Greek feta, which combined with a large amount of herbs clearly enliven the taste of the dish.

Całkiem nieźle smakują też z wędzonym na zimno łososiem
pytanie
Witam, proszę o informację: czy trzeba mrozić przed smażeniem, czy gotowe i tylko odgrzewać?
odp. pytanie
Nie należy mrozić przed smażeniem. Wystarczy wymieszaną masę wstawić do lodówki na pół godziny.
Natomiast po usmażeniu i ostudzeniu możesz zamrozić kotlety jeśli chcesz przechowywać je dłuższy czas.

Przepis na placki z cukini
Zrobiłem, były pyszne. Ale zanotowałem wpadkę - placki rozpadały się na patelni bo nie miały lepiszcza czyli mąki. Po dodaniu mąki - było OK. Może się mylę i nie umiem zrobić. Danie fantastyczne, dziękuję.
To oryginalny przepis bez mąki. Skoro placki rozpadały się podczas smażenia to pewnie cukinie były za słabo odciśnięte z wody. W takim przypadku trzeba dodać więcej bułki tartej niż w przepisie. Takie placki trzeba "wyczuć".
