Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 85/15 lean-to-fat ratio for optimal flavor and moisture
- 2 medium zucchini finely grated and moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for binding the dessert base
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided for caramelization and sweetness
- 2 large eggs beaten, to bind ingredients
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon warm spice for Turkish flavor
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for dessert aroma
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter for wok frying and richness
- 1 cup crushed pistachios for garnish and crispy texture
- 1 drizzle honey for gooey, sticky finish
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness. Make-Ahead: The batter can be mixed and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before frying. Variations: Substitute ground beef with ground lamb for a more traditional Turkish flavor. For a nut-free version, use toasted sesame seeds. Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a dollop of thick Greek yogurt or clotted cream to balance the sweetness.
