Ingredients
- 2 large courgettes
- 2 carrots (peeled)
- 1 medium potato (peeled )
- 1 medium onion (peeled & finely chopped)
- 4 eggs
- 225 grams plain (all purpose) flour
- 75 millilitres olive oil
- ½ bunch fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- ½ bunch fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 dessert spoon dried mint
- 1 dessert spoon chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 dessert spoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt & pepper
Instructions
- First of all, preheat your oven to
180 °C - Grate your courgettes, carrots and potato and add to a large bowl.
- Add your onion.
- Mix the ingredients together and use a kitchen towel to press down on the mixture and soak up excess moisture.
- Now add your parsley & dill and mix again.
- Now sprinkle in the dried mint, chilli flakes and salt & pepper and mix.
- Beat the eggs and pour these over your mixture before stirring everything together.
- Now add your flour and baking powder to a sieve and sieve over your mixture.
- Stir this in until all the flour is absorbed.
- Pour the oil over the mixture and stir.
- Now grease a baking tray of your choice and pour your mixture into the tray.
- Spread around to the edges to make the thickness roughly even all over.
- When your oven has reached the correct temperature, place your tray in the centre of the oven and bake for around 40-45 minutes.
- When you think your oven baked potato and courgette fritters are cooked, prod the centre with a knife to check the mixture is set.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into slices.
- Serve on its own or with natural yoghurt and a simple salad on the side.
Notes
- Turkish oven baked potato and courgette fritters can be made without the potato. If you want to do this, substitute your potato for an extra courgette.
- If you're in Turkey, baking powder is sold in sachets and is called kabartma tozu.
- We cut our potato and courgette fritters into ten slices so we have said there are ten mücver servings in this recipe. You can cut into smaller servings if you like.
- Your mücver will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for around 3 days.
