Zucchini and Halloumi Fritters with Harissa Yogurt Sauce
Zucchini and Halloumi Fritters with Harissa Yogurt Sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. The fritters are made with grated zucchini, crumbled halloumi cheese, flour, bread crumbs, and egg, and are fried until golden brown. The harissa yogurt sauce is made with plain yogurt, harissa, and olive oil, and adds a bit of spice to the fritters.
The inspiration for these fritters came to me one day when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover zucchini. I had some halloumi cheese in the fridge, and I thought that the two would go well together. I also wanted to make a sauce to go with the fritters, and I decided on a harissa yogurt sauce. The sauce is flavorful and a bit spicy, and it complements the fritters perfectly.
