Ingredients

  • 1 kg yellow pumpkin, grated
  • 1 onion, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped (or dried)
  • 2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
  • 150g all-purpose flour
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Cut the pumpkin and remove the soft center with the seeds.
  2. Grate the pumpkin into a large bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, mix, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Squeeze the grated pumpkin with your hands to remove excess moisture, then place it into a clean bowl.
  4. Add the eggs, mint, dill, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and flour to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, scoop equal portions of the mixture and place them into the pan.
  6. Space the fritters apart in the pan, flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon, and fry them on both sides until golden brown.
  7. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, these pumpkin fritters are a delightful dish that captures the essence of traditional Greek flavors. Perfect as a starter, side dish, or even a light main course. Enjoy them with a dollop of yogurt or your favorite dipping sauce for a truly comforting experience!
