Recipe
Zucchini patties with rich tzatziki, 4 servingsZucchini patties:
- 2 zucchinis
- 1.5 tablespoon psyllium seed husk
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika powder
- salt and pepper
- 2 ounces (50 g) butter
Tzatziki:
- ½ cucumber
- 1 cup (2 dl) Russian yogurt or sour cream
- ⅓ cup (¾ dl) olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- lemon juice
- herbal salt
- pepper (optional)
Grate cucumber for the tzatziki. Strain and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes and then squeeze out the liquid. Mix yogurt or sour cream and oil. Stir for a while to make it blend. Press garlic, add cucumber and salt. Olive oil may have a peppery and slightly bitter taste, add some lemon juice to balance. Grind down some pepper if needed. Let rest in fridge.
Grate the zucchini and do the same thing as with the cucumber, i.e. salt and let strain. After 10-15 minutes, squeeze out the liquid. Mix the zucchini with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes before frying in butter until golden brown on both sides. Serve with broccoli and a tomato.
