The Turkish zucchini pancakes called Mücver are not only popular with vegetarians and vegans. Proof of this: Translated, “Mücver” means “jewel” in German.

How can you cook the piece of jewelry quickly and easily? Our new world food recipe shows it.

Mücver are zucchini fritters from Turkey that are served as a mezze, i.e. a starter. The treat has been popular since the time of the Ottoman Empire. Originally, the recipe for Mücver comes from the region around the Black Sea, but quickly spread across the country and is now popular beyond the borders of Turkey.

The zucchini pancakes taste warm or cold and are particularly good with a herb or garlic dip. Cooking Mücver yourself is quick and easy with this recipe. If you want to be creative, you can also make Mücver with pumpkin, potatoes or garlic. Feta cheese is particularly popular when added to the recipe. Incidentally, in Ottoman cuisine, muecver was not yet a vegetarian dish. At that time, most recipes provided for preparing Mücver from minced meat, liver, beans and aubergines, as “skylife” writes. If you are willing to experiment, you can also try this variant. We’re sticking with the vegetarian zucchini muecver and showing with this recipe how easy and quick it is to make.
