Baked Kabak Mücver#BakingBloggers

Zucchini is called  kabak  and  Mücver is a fritter in Turkish.  This  Kabak Mucver is  similar to a pancake, made from grated zucchini, potatoes, egg, onion, dill, cheese and flour. You can enjoy this  as a main course  for dinner  or  a light lunch or as an appetizer. 

This makes a perfect meal, brunch, lunch or dinner. The spice level in this recipe is just right..perfect.   In my view do not increase the spices, it will ruin the taste of dish.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 Large Courgette/Zucchini
1 Medium Carrot
2 Medium Potatoes
1 Medium Onion - finely chopped
3 Large Eggs
3 -4 Tablespoons Grated Cheddar Cheese
3/4  Cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Heaped Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Fresh Curly Parsley - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Fresh Flat Parsley - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Dried Mint
¼Teaspoon Red Chilly flakes
1 Teaspoon Level Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Level Salt
¼ Teaspoon Level Black Pepper powder

Method
Preheat the  oven to 180 degrees C.
Grease an 8 inch pan with oil well, keep aside.

Sieve  the flour, baking powder, add  the dried mint, chilly flakes, salt, pepper and mix,  keep aside.

Grate the zucchini , carrots and potato.

In the large bowl add the grated veggies,  finely chopped onion. Mix the ingredients together and now add the cheese, parsley, dill, mix them too.
Beat 4 eggs and pour this over mixture  and stir everything together.  

Stir  in the sieved  flour  till it is well combined.
Pour the oil over the mixture and  give it a good stir.

Pour this over the greased pan and spread it to the edges to make the thickness as  even  even as possible all over. 

Place the pan in the  pre heated oven and bake for around 40 - 45 minutes.
To check for doneness, the sides will start to leave the sides of the pan and insert a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean take it out of the oven.

Run a offset spatula around the sides. Let it cool before cutting into slices. 

Enjoy this  warm, with freshly set  yogurt on the side and a soft dinner roll or bun. 

It's a  change from the normal meal that you  have and  so satisfying, you will love it.    This Turkish  baked  dish was  loved by my hubby too!

My Notes
Any leftovers, just heat it in the Air fyer at 180 degrees C for 3 to 4 minutes or Microwave it for a minute.
