Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Grate marrow

Grate the marrow (zucchini) using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.

2
Squeeze out excess moisture

Place the grated marrow in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

3
Mix fritter batter

In a large bowl, combine the grated marrow, eggs, breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a thick batter forms.

4
Chop vegetables

Peel and chop the onions. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Cut the tomatoes into small chunks.

5
Heat oil

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

6
Fry fritters

Drop spoonfuls of the marrow batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the fritters from the skillet and set them aside.

7
Sauté onions and garlic

In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions are softened and translucent.

8
Add tomatoes and spices

Add the chopped tomatoes, paprika, dried oregano, remaining salt, and remaining black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the tomatoes start to break down.

9
Add fritters to sauce

Gently place the fried marrow fritters into the tomato sauce, making sure they are partially submerged.

10
Simmer fritters in sauce

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the fritters simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes or until the flavors have melded together and the fritters are heated through.

11
Serve

Serve the Balkan Marrow Fritters in Tomato Sauce hot, accompanied by crusty bread or rice if desired.
