Mücver is a Turkish fritter or pancake, made from grated zucchini. They are typically pan-fried in oil and their batter often includes a mixture of eggs, onion, dill, parsley, flour, and sometimes potatoes and cheese (beyaz peynir or kaşar). They are similar to Jewish latkes and potato pancakes from various cultures.
History
Though mücver is currently known as a vegetable patty made with zucchini, in the Ottoman cuisine, it used to be known as a cooking technique. Written as mücmer in Ottoman records, it transformed into mücver in modern Turkish.[1]
