Zucchini Fritters(Kabak Mücveri)
classic
A classic pan-fried dish where squeezed zucchini gains a thin crispy crust with herbs and cheese; adding more flour is not the shortcut to good fritters.
Zucchini that is not squeezed requires more flour and becomes doughy.

Table balance
Taste: richness, salty
- Alongside
- Pickles or an onion-and-lemon salad: acidity cuts the fat and lightens the plate.
- To drink
- Ayran (salted yogurt drink) or turnip juice — the classic partner to a rich meat plate.
- Afterwards
- After a light main there is room for a syrupy dessert in this meal.
- Easy to miss
- On a meze table balance beats variety: one yogurt-based, one olive-oil, one sharp is enough.

Shortcuts worth knowing
Pick the good one
Haydari is made with strained yogurt. If it weeps water on the plate, the yogurt was not strained.

- What does a vegetarian eat in Türkiye?
Olive-oil dishes are a whole branch of the cuisine and they are meatless: imam bayıldı, green beans in olive oil, mücver, hummus, haydari. In stewpot dishes meat stock may be used, so it is worth asking “etsiz mi?”; with meze and breakfast there is no difficulty.
