Fried zucchini with yogurt sauce

Fried Zucchini in Yogurt - Mediterranean appetizer

 

Ingredients:

4 medium-sized zucchini;
650 ml. Balkan style yogurt;
1/2 tsp. minced garlic;
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil;
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley;
1 tsp. chopped fresh dill;
1 cup vegetable oil for frying;
salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe:

1. Slice the zucchini to coin shapes, about 1/4-inch thick.

2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the zucchini in 2-3 batches.

3. When they are lightly brown, remove them from the oil and keep them over tissue paper for a minute to remove the excess oil.

4. Mix the remaining ingredients together and fold the fried zucchini into the mixture.

5. Serve the fried zucchini as a spread, dipping sauce for a Mediterranean style tapas or just on its own with some toasted whole wheat bread.

The fried zucchini appetizer can be prepared in advance and held refrigerated until serving.

I fried the zucchini from the picture above, in a mixture of extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil.
