1/Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini and cut off the stems. Slice them finely using a slicer (or chop finely with a knife). Add salt, mix well, and let sit for about 10 minutes. Then squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
2/ Chop the Herbs: Finely chop the green onion and parsley.
3/ Mix the Vegetables and Spices: Add the chopped green onion and parsley to the zucchini. Then add pepper, paprika powder, and the egg. Mix everything thoroughly.
4/ Add the Flour: Sprinkle in the flour and stir well until evenly combined.
5/ Fry the Fritters: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture (about the size of a small pancake) and drop them into the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
6/ Drain the Oil: Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on kitchen paper to drain any excess oil.
7/ Make the Yogurt Sauce: For Sauce 1, finely slice or chop the cucumber and mix it with the remaining ingredients.
For Sauce 2, simply place all ingredients in a separate bowl and stir to combine.
🌟From Turkish to Japanese – Mücver with a Twist🌟
⭐️ Try It with Tonkatsu Sauce for a Japanese Twist: We’re introducing a Turkish-style yogurt sauce in this recipe, but Mücver also pairs surprisingly well with Japanese tonkatsu sauce. If you’re in the mood for a Japanese-inspired flavor, give it a try!
⭐️ About the Green Onions (Frühlingszwiebel): This recipe uses Frühlingszwiebel, a type of mild, slightly sweet green onion commonly found in Germany. In English, it’s called a spring onion, and in Japanese, it’s known as wakegi (わけぎ). If you can’t find it, you can substitute it with regular green onions or scallions.
⭐️ Don’t Worry – Paprika Isn’t Spicy: Paprika powder may look like chili powder because of its bright red color, but it’s not spicy at all. Even if you’re sensitive to heat, you can enjoy this spice without worry.
⭐️ Two Sauce Options – Refreshing or Bold: This recipe offers two yogurt sauces. Sauce 1 is light and refreshing, while Sauce 2 has a bold flavor thanks to garlic. If you’re a garlic lover, Sauce 2 is definitely for you!
