Loving Gluten Free host Helen Tzouganatos shares one of her delicious gluten free recipes, demonstrating that regardless of dietary requirements, nobody has to miss out on all the Greek favourites!

“Zucchini feta fritters were a constant at every Greek barbecue we attended growing up,” Helen says. “Kolokithokeftedes are deliciously crisp and packed full of vibrant green herbs and salty cheese so it is no wonder they were so universally appealing and piled high on everyone’s plates. I enjoy them hot and cold for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snacking occasion in between. They are even great as patties in veggie burgers and kids love them in school lunch boxes.
“The combination of my two favourite cheeses – feta and kefalograviera, adds a wonderful salty creamy dimension to these fritters. You can find kefalograviera cheese in European delis and speciality grocers. Serve with tzatziki and a tomato and cucumber village salad for a traditional Greek vegetarian lunch. Kali Orexi!”

Serves: Makes about 15 fritters

INGREDIENTS
4 large zucchini, grated
3 shallots, finely sliced
100g feta, crumbed
100g kefalograviera cheese, grated
1 egg, lightly whisked
3 tbs parsley, finely chopped
3 tbs mint, finely chopped
1 tbs dill, finely chopped
1 cup plain gluten free flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sea salt flakes
Pinch of cracked pepper
Olive oil for shallow frying

METHOD
1. Place zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with some sea salt. Set aside for 10 minutes then use your hands to squeeze excess liquid from zucchini.
2. Combine zuchini, shallots, cheeses, eggs, herbs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes so fritters are easier to roll.
3. Remove mixture from fridge. If too runny, add some more flour.
4. Roll into small patties. Dust patties with extra flour for a crispier coating.
5. Heat oil in frypan over medium heat. Cook patties for two minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towel.
6. Serve with tzatziki.
