Preparation

Step 1

These zucchini balls are a great appetizer and can be served with tzatziki or marina sauce for dipping.

Mix the zucchini, feta, ouzo, garlic, green onion, herbs and egg and season with salt and pepper.

Mix in enough flour and breadcrumbs that you can work with the mixture to form balls.

Form the mixture into balls and dust in flour.

Fry in oil until golden brown and set aside to cool.
