Zucchini and Feta Fritters
My mother will laugh when seeing this recipe… Even though I eat pretty much everything, was never a picky eater and have always been keen and open to try out new things, I used to ‘strongly dislike’ zucchini. 
In whatever form or shape.
However, taste develops and changes – something I’ve noticed many times in my life already.
And though I can’t say I’m in love with zucchini now, I’ve come to like them and use them more and more often in my own cooking in combination with other veg and ingredients.
Whether you like or dislike zucchini, this recipe certainly is a winner for everyone! The crispy combination of spices, spring onions, zucchini and feta cheese make for a tasty and light lunch or dinner that even your kids or other family members who aren’t keen on veg will enjoy!
See for yourselves and let me know how it went!
