Salty haloumi makes a creamy base for these fabulous fritters inspired by the Middle East. A side of Greek-style salad finishes the plate perfectly.

Ingredients

Zucchini

4 medium, coarsely grated

Haloumi cheese

125 g, coarsely grated

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup(s), finely chopped

Dried breadcrumbs

½ cup(s), (35g)

2 medium, lightly beaten

Red onion

1 small, finely chopped

Tomato(es)

4 medium, coarsely chopped

Fresh mint

⅓ cup(s), torn

99% fat-free, plain Greek yoghurt, unsweetened

¾ cup(s), (180g)
