ZUCCHINI AND CARROT FRITTERS WITH YOGURT-MINT DIP



Zucchini and Carrot Fritters With Yogurt-Mint Dip image

These crispy fritters, which Melissa Clark developed for her picky daughter, are also an ideal cocktail accompaniment. Hot, salty and crunchy: They can be devoured in one or two bites. To make them, combine shredded or diced carrots and zucchini, lemon zest and scallion with a light batter of flour, egg, milk, coriander and pepper. Let them rest for a half-hour so the vegetables can soften, then drop the battered vegetables by the spoonful into the oil and fry until golden all over. Sprinkle with salt and serve with a creamy dip of yogurt, mint and garlic, and watch them disappear.

Time 1h

Yield 3 dozen fritters

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour, more as needed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon coriander
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more for serving
1 cup milk, more as needed
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 large carrots, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • To make the batter for the fritters: in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, lemon zest and pepper.
  • Pour dry ingredients into wet; whisk until just blended (do not overmix). Batter should be slightly thicker than cream. If it's too thick, add some milk; if it's too thin, sprinkle with additional flour. Stir in the carrots, zucchini and scallions. Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
  • To make the yogurt dip: using a mortar and pestle or the back of a knife, mash together the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, yogurt, mint and 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Fill a wide saucepan with 1 inch of olive oil; heat until the temperature registers 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer (or until a small drip of batter browns immediately). Line a cookie sheet with paper towels. Working in batches, drop battered vegetables by the tablespoon into the oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to the cookie sheet to drain. Transfer fritters to a platter or plate; sprinkle with salt and serve with yogurt dip.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Appetizers

Time 45m

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium zucchini (10 ounces), coarsely grated or finely julienned (2 3/4 cups)
Kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, such as safflower, plus more for frying
1 large leek, white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise, and thoroughly washed and drained (1 1/4 cups)
2 medium carrots (6 ounces), peeled and coarsely grated or finely julienned (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup potato starch
1 large egg, beaten
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen
Zesty Tomato and Curried-Sour-Cream Dipping Sauces, for serving

Steps:

  • In a colander, toss zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Let drain 10 minutes, then squeeze dry. Transfer to a large bowl. Heat oil over medium in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but no color has developed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with zucchini and let cool completely. Stir in carrots, potato starch,1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to combine, then fold in egg.
  • Pour a scant 1/2 inch oil into skillet. Heat over medium until oil shimmers and bubbles form instantly around a breadcrumb dropped in (350°F on a deep-fry thermometer). Working in batches, form mixture into golf-ball-size rounds; carefully drop into oil and flatten slightly.
  • Fry, flipping once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a level temperature, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, then sprinkle with flaky salt; keep warm in a preheated 200°F oven while frying the rest. Serve warm, with dipping sauces.
