Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 eggplants, diced
  • 3 cucumbers, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon juice and grated peel
  • 100g Dutch cheese, grated
  • 100g breadcrumbs
  • 50g flour
  • Mint leaves, chopped
  • Italian herb mixture, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the eggplants: Dice the eggplants, sprinkle with salt, and let them stand for 15 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Prepare the cucumbers: Grate the cucumbers and mix with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let stand for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water.
  3. Mix the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with sweet paprika, salt, black pepper, and grated lemon peel.
  4. Add the cheese and cucumbers: Stir the grated Dutch cheese and squeezed cucumbers into the egg mixture. Mix well.
  5. Prepare the coating: In a separate dish, combine breadcrumbs, flour, and Italian herbs.
  6. Shape the fritters: Take small portions of the mixture, shape into patties, and coat in the breadcrumb-flour mixture.
  7. Fry the fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the fritters on both sides until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes per side).
  8. Finish cooking: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
  9. Serve: Garnish with chopped mint leaves and a drizzle of lemon juice. Serve warm.
