Greek Zucchini Tots

Cultural Context

Originating from Greece, Kolokithokeftedes are a beloved meze made primarily from zucchini, reflecting the Mediterranean's emphasis on fresh vegetables. Traditionally served during summer when zucchinis are in abundance, these fritters celebrate the flavors of the region, often accompanied by tzatziki. Today, variations abound globally, with many adapting the recipe to include different herbs and cheeses, making it a versatile dish enjoyed by many.
