Preparing the Kolokithokeftedes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start, choose fresh courgettes and grate them. Then, add a pinch of salt and let them drain for about ten minutes. After that, squeeze them well to remove most of the liquid. Next, incorporate the rest of the ingredients: fresh mint and dill, finely chopped onion, and crumbled feta. I like to use manouri cheese here, a delightful Greek cheese made from sheep or goat milk. Finally, add an egg and flour to bind everything together, then form your quenelles ready to be fried until golden brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the ingredients and steps below to prepare these delicious Kolokithokeftedes and transport you to Greece!<\/p>\n
