An explosion of flavors and colors. The combination of fresh zucchini and dried curd cheese creates a soft and creamy filling that perfectly complements the crispy crust of the meatballs.
Ingredients:
- 600g zucchini
- 100g finely grated dried curd cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 spring onions
- freshly chopped dill
- freshly chopped mint
- 40g flour
- 100g panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Preparation:
- Wash and grate the zucchini. Sprinkle with salt, mix well, and let them drain in a colander for 30 minutes. After this time, place the zucchini in a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess water to ensure the meatballs stay crispy. You should have around 350g of grated zucchini after squeezing.
- Grate the cheese and chop the spring onions, dill, and mint.
- In a large bowl, mix together the squeezed zucchini, grated feta cheese, herbs, spring onions, garlic powder, eggs, flour, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Shape the mixture into 100g balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and greased with oil.
- Flatten them with the back of a spoon to give them a meatball shape. You can also use a round metal mold to shape the meatballs more easily.
- Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20-25 minutes.
You can enjoy the meatballs hot or cold, accompanied by Lăptăria cu Caimac Yogurt or “Chubby” sour cream.
