Recipe video above. These tasty bites are from the Greek Island of Alonnisos, adapted from the Courgette / Zucchini Rissoles recipe in The Food and Cooking of Greece cookbook. Such a great way to use the humble zucchini to make something fabulous that's meal worthy and great to pass around at a party!Traditionally they're deep fried but I like to make them in the oven (handy, healthier) and make them tater-tot (potato gem) shapes. But you can make them any shape you want!
