Moroccan Couscous Fritters
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked couscous
- ⅔-¾ cup Roughly crumbled feta cheese, just under a cup
- 1 Garlic clove, pressed
- 1 tbsp Fresh mint leaves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, minced
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 2 shakes Cinnamon
- 2+ shakes Cayenne
- 2 Eggs
- ~2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Chop the feta cheese into small pieces, slightly larger than crumbled. Mince the mint and the basil. Press one clove of garlic.
- Mix all of the ingredients together. For best results refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Form into patties. Heat about two tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick pan. Once hot enough to fry, add the patties. Gently lift with a spatula to allow the hot oil to slip under the patties to avoid sticking.
- Sauté until browned, then gently flip over to brown the other side.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate to absorb the excess grease. Then move to a platter and serve as is or with Tzatziki sauce.
