Kolokasikeftedes, also known as Kolokithokeftedes or Kolokithokeftes, are a popular Greek dish made with zucchini. They are a type of fritter, and are typically served as a meze (appetizer) or as a side dish.
The dish is believed to have originated in the Peloponnese region of Greece, and is thought to have been created as a way to use up leftover zucchini. The fritters are made by grating zucchini and then mixing it with flour, eggs, and herbs. They are then deep-fried until golden brown.
Kolokasikeftedes are a delicious and versatile dish. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki or skordalia. They can also be added to salads or wraps.
