Zucchini Fritters (Kabak Mucveri)

1 lb zucchini, peeled and shredded
4-5 green onions/ 1 big onion, chopped
½ bunch parsley/dill, finely chopped
1-2 eggs, beaten
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
4-5 tbsp flour, heaping
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp paprika (optional)
1 tsp salt to taste
1 cup olive/canola oil for frying

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, but eggs and oil. Then stir in beaten eggs and get ready for frying (eggs make the mixture juicy). If your mixture gets juicy, drain the excess water.
In a wide skillet, sizzle oil and drop 1 table spoon of mixture into it. Then press gently to flatten and give a pate shape. Fry both sides till they get golden brown over high medium heat. Place fried Zucchini Fritters over a paper towel to get rid of the excess oil.
Serve Zucchini Fritters cold or warm with garlic yogurt sauce or yogurt.
ENJOY

Mosaic Cake (Mozaik Pasta)

1 lb Petit Beurre or Social thin tea biscuits
10 tbsp brown/white sugar
7-8 tbsp butter/margarine, melted
½ cup milk
½ cup walnuts/pecans/hazelnuts, crumbled
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract/ 1 package vanilla
3-4 tbsp cocoa, heaping
1 egg, beaten (optional)
Coconut flakes/white chocolate chips for garnish

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients but the biscuits. Then crumble the biscuits and mix with the other ingredients evenly. You can use aluminum foil, plastic wrap or cake pans to give it a shape you like. I’ve used a cake pan. Place plastic wrap over the bottom of pan and put the cake mixture inside (plastic wrap will help to get the cake out of the pan). Then press down on the cake mixture to fit the pan. If you are using aluminum foil or plastic wrap, wrap the mixture and give the shape you like (e.g. a log, square or triangle). Finally, leave it in the fridge for 2 hours.

Sprinkle some coconut flakes/white chocolate chip on top and slice. You can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream on top.
ENJOY
P.S: Keep the Mosaic Cake in the fridge to be safe, because it contains raw eggs.
