Mucver (Zucchini Treats)





Score two for me! Ferhat loved the eggplant dish, but ate the mucver (pronounced mooj-VAIR) so fast from the moment he walked in the door, I couldn't even take a picture of it!!

Ingredients:
  • 3 "American size" zucchinis, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 onion, grated (white, preferably)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 c flour
  • 1 c white cheese (aka Feta)
  • 1 tight handful of fresh dill (ok, so how does one actually measure dill...just squeeze it in your fist and that should be about right), chopped
  • Sunflower oil (or another vegetable oil that handles high temperatures well)
  • salt to taste
Magical Transformation Instructions:
  • Wash your hands (I enjoy stating the obvious)--but this is kinda important 'cause you get to smoosh everything together with your hands!
  • Take the grated zucchini and smoosh it between paper towels several times to absorb a lot of the moisture
  • Mix that together then with the onion, eggs, flour, cheese and dill (and salt to taste)--WITH YOUR HANDS--fun times!
  • Wash off those pretty little hands
  • Preheat a deep skillet then add enough sunflower oil to generously cover the bottom.
  • Once the oil has heated, take a heaping spoonful of the batter and add it to the oil. DO NOT turn the pancake until it is nice and brown on one side.
  • When both sides are golden brown, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil
  • Serve immediately and watch your guests *smile*
