Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinies, grated
  • 100 g / 3.5 oz halloumi cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon coriander seed powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander/cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or a little grated fresh garlic)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup buckwheat flour, cassava flour or almond meal
  • Coconut oil for cooking
Smokey Chipotle Aioli
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat yoghurt or coconut yoghurt (or extra mayonnaise, if avoiding dairy)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle chilli
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • 3 [sun-dried tomatoes
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Working with a small batch a time, place grated zucchini in your hands and squeeze tight to remove excess liquid from the vegetable flesh. You can discard the juice or save it for a green smoothie. Add the squeezed, grated zucchini to a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, except for the flour. Mix well together, then add the flour and combine into a consistent batter.
  2. Heat a thin layer (about 1 tablespoon) of coconut oil in a large frying pan. Scoop a good tablespoon or two of the mixture and place it carefully in the pan in a round shape. Press it down slightly to form a flat pancake. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side over medium-high heat, until golden brown on each side.
  3. If making the chipotle aioli, place all ingredients in a blender or a food processor and whiz together until smooth. Alternatively, chop the sun-dried tomatoes finally and mix together with the other ingredients.
