Traditional ÖCCE Fritters: 10 MIN Guilt-Free Vegetarian Meal idea to TRY TODAY
Vložit

- We are making FRITTERS which ease eating vegetables for some people in this episode. There are so many recipes with tomatoes, cabbage and lettuce around the world; in Turkey, we’re famous for our zucchini fritters whose recipe we have on the channel. I would like to introduce you to a delicious and traditional type of fritters called Öcce which is made of fresh greens. This recipe is from Gaziantep, one of the regions that we had the earthquake; I want to honor this beautiful city with this recipe. I made use of parsley, mint, spring onions and green garlic as it is in the original recipe but you can feel free to use any greens of the season that appeal to you. It’s also my pleasure to share the mathematics behind making fritters so that you could make use of this formula to make fritters of whatever you have in your fridge.
Before I share the full recipe, I want to thank all who have supported our ongoing campaign for victims of the earthquake because, as days pass, needs of those people change and grow. Your support means so much more than you think in this case.

ÖCCE - Veggie Fritters
Servings: 4-6
Difficulty: EasyPrep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
· 1 bunch of parsley, 100 g
· 6-7 sprigs of green onion
· 5-6 sprigs of mint
· 3-4 sprig of green garlic or 3 garlic cloves
· ½ teaspoon salt
· ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
· ½ teaspoon cumin powder
· ½ teaspoon dry coriander seeds, crushed
· 1 pinch of black pepper
· 2 eggs
· 2-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
· Any oil for frying, preferably olive oil or hazelnut oil
- Place all greens in a food processor and pulse until shredded into small pieces. Be careful to not get them pureed.
- Take the greens into a large bowl. Add salt and rub.
- After squeezing their excess water add black pepper, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes, eggs and flour. Mix until well combined.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan. Use two spoons to give the shape to the fritter. Before using them, dip into the oil so mixture doesn’t stick to the spoons.
- When the oil is heated, start frying the beautiful Öcces until brown and crispy. Don’t forget to flip them halfway! Enjoy with your loved ones.
Serving tips: You can serve with some garlic yoghurt sauce and butter sauce, or labneh and chili jam or sweet chili sauce.
For Garlic Yoghurt Sauce
6-8 tablespoons strained yoghurt
2 large cloves of garlic
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of black pepper
For Butter Sauce
1 tablespoons butter
2 pinches red pepper flakes
Dry mint, for topping
Sumac, for topping
Additional:
- You can add any kind of cheese, smoked ham or minced meat inside the fritter mixture.
- If you want to cook in Air-Fryer, place a baking paper, spray some oil and fry öcces in 200 °C (392 °F) for 8-10 minutes. Don't forget to turn it halfway through.
You had me when the crunchy sound when you took a bite! Ahhhhh! I know I can adapt to with kale, green onions,, and another green in the fridge. Thank you for the recipe.
Sounds great! ❤️
Hi from Tennessee USA. That looks absolutely delicious. Beautiful recipe for spring. My heart and prayers are still with those affected by the earthquakes.
Thank you so much❤️
Hi Refika, we used to do this recipe in Egypt with name of "Egge", but we add Soda Bicarbonate, extra eggs and bake it in the oven, some people add small amount of cooked rice in it. It is a great recipe can be done any time :)
Didn’t know that great info. Thank you!:)
@@Refika
I confirm what Ibrahim said above.
The name 'Egge عجة starts with a consonant that does not exist in Turkish. It is in Semitic languages (e.g. Arabic, ...) and is the first consonant in the original name of Antep عينتاب too.
It is always done with eggs and any vegetables (spinach, onions, green onions, parsley, ...)
So it is more like an egg frittata than a fritter.
There are also very similar Syrian versions (Ejjeh).
Love this ❤
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this.
@@RefikaՀայաստանում նույնպես պատրաստում են, հիմա դա թուրքական է,?
I love your philosophy about the food you make and the taste. Mean people don’t manage to cook tasty food.
Looks good! Need to try this when veg is in season
YUM!!! Will definitely try this! Thank you!
Wow, such a vibrant green color. I will give it a try soon. Thx for the idea! ❤
Eating a plate of these now! I am out of eggs and used chickpea flour instead, they turned out so good took ten min even with hand-chopping and saved all the herbs in the fridge.
with chickpea flour it's almost like a reversed falafel :D
Hi, how much chickpeas flour and water do I need to reach similar results? Thanks
Green garlic is the flavour of spring from my childhood. My dad used to make spring salad with fresh radishes, lettice and lots of spring onion and garlic, lots of herbs and hardboiled eggs, it was like spring on your plate flagrant, tender and fresh. Come the end of Winter your soul craves fresh green flavours. In UK they don't sell spring garlic, but I grow mine in a container on my balcony. Just plant unpeeled cloves of garlic and watch them grow, 😋
I love your energy and personality - thank you for fantastic Turkish food! Will try the fritters.
Thank you for this recipe I am going to try in my air fryer as I don’t fry foods very often. You continue to make my life uplifted during times alone. You and your crew is like a family to me and I still continue use to pray for Türkiye and better things happen for all there. Love and good wishes.🐞🦬🐢❤️
Hope you enjoy! ❤️
I guess I cannot stop myself from running to the kitchen and trying it. 😊
Hi Rafika. Wow! That looks so appetizing. Will definitely be trying this recipe. I've watched many of your recipes on this channel and honestly as a South African I just love all your recipes. Makes me want to get on a plane and visit Turkey for the culinary experience
We have a shared dinner with my family tonight. I’m making this for sure! Love from New Zealand!
It was delicious! Everyone wanted to know how to make them. I added a little baking soda as another commenter mentioned and raided the garden for greens such as spring onions, leek, chives, parsley, basil, sorrel, Swiss chard and a little kale. I added a smidgen of leftover Parmesan and tasty cheddar and It was delicious! Thanks very much for the great recipe, Refika. Arohanui from New Zealand!
You upgraded it on another level! Loved it!
Thanks Refika, brilliant as usual !
I absolutely some of the recipes I have been getting from you. Seriously I am so happy with your food.
Hey Cole, enjoy! ❤ Wish you a very nice week.
Wow hun this sounds so yummy and so healthy for your digestive system.
Looks delicious! Thank you
They look delicious on the outside as well. Love to your fellow countrymen.
Fresh and delicious like a Spring day. ❤
Exactly!
Love all recipes and your way doing your food and everything this one I’ll have to try ❤❤❤❤
By Öz Kilis in Istanbul, aside from lahmacun, they serve a galactic taze sarımsak çorbası, fresh garlic soup, one of the best starters İ have ever had. Maybe your public would appreciate to have your version of it!
We make a similar thing called sokhov mokhov dapag, which means fried onions with an extra rhyming word for fun, but it’s made with chopped parsley and scallions and sometimes mint, with just enough egg to hold it together, pan fried like small flat pancakes 5-8 cm in diameter. It’s one of my son’s favourite foods!
It sounds same :) Thanks Anahid!
Oh boy do I want some of them now! Delicious!
Omgosh, SO yummy. 🎉
I can't wait to try this. 💓
I would never have thought to add chili flakes or even jam to the sour cream or yogurt. I tell you, I learn something new from you with every video. 💐
Love and blessings from Israel
💙🇮🇱🙏
They match perfectly don’t they?
@@Refika Beautifully. 🥰
This is so similar to persian kuku sabzi! My favorite so so delicious ❤
I am confused Kuku Sabzi (کوکو سبزی ) - I love it but it is basically a herbs omelette and not similar to köfte at all?
But there are wonderful persian meatballs as well, for example Kofteh Tabrizi ( کوفته تبریزی ) which also contain walnuts and barberry and dried fruit! Very yummy!
I've made these several times now. They're very different to the courgette fritters but so tasty.
THANKYOU🙏.
Look yummmy.We have something similar.(With Spinage)
I will surl try this.
Yes your are right about cooking with hands.Thats why they say back (home) dont cook for others when you are angry or sick the energy is in the food.
All best wishes for Ramadan and GOD help you to do fasts with joy.
Almity bless you.
Greetings from Austria
That's awesome for people who have diabetes. Thank you, ma'am. You are awesome.
Oh my goodness!!! Refika, this your recipe came up at the right time 😅😅. My husband and I were asked to eat certain green veges for health reasons. We were given list of what to eat and I have the impression that he bought all the vegetables in the supermarket that I don't have space to store all of these stuffs. There is this big round ball like vegetable they call "chou frisé". I have precisely 7 of them and so confused 🙄 on how to store or cook them. I only know of soup recipes with this particular vegetable. Your today recipe came in at the right time 👍. I just hope that it will turn out good using your recipe with this green " chou frisé " 😅. Triple bises to you & your crew 😘😘
Be blessed as always & thanks for sharing this with us all🙏🏿.
✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️&😘😘😘🤗.
Hi Lucie, I'm very glad to hear that!!! 🥳
What a delicious looking recipe. And an air fryer option- thank-you for that, Refika!
Much love to you and to those suffering in your homeland.xxx
Where I live, we don't eat garlic, onion or eggs, but I'll definitely use the concept of green fritters for inspiration. Plus, I'm just commenting to support your channel. :) Soon, I'll be commenting on your Turkish channel!
Made these for the first time today, they were delicious. ATe them with rice, salad and hummus.
Another wonderful recipe - thank you!! ❤
My pleasure ❤️
Looks really yummy. I must try this
It's fantastic 😍 thank you so much for this amazing vegetarian recipe ❤
Love your videos, watch all the time .♥♥♥
Hi from France thanks a lot for your recipe..can I use something else than spring onions I barely find this ingredient!
Tomorrow inshAllah my husband and I are going a "charity event" organized by the Turkish community in this place where I live ..it will be a pleasure for us to help by buying stuff there and even have lunch...as I love Turkish cuisine so...
Take care Refika
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️You can use white onion as well.

Hi Rifki, I always love your program. We do a gaga during Easter and we did with yoghurt it’s delicious. I also want to tell you that I’m coming to Istanbul on 18 April and I would like and love to meet you.
Hi Raquel! I'm glad to hear that. We're in Kuzguncuk :)
In Mangalore,India we make leafy greens fritters and call it BAJO how food connects us
To make it gluten free we use chickpea flour it tastes great
Thank you for this recipe! I need to eat more veggies.
Hello Refika❤ Love watching your videos and the way you demonstrating the recipes was lovely. Am going to try this🙌 Thanks for teaching us this wonderful recipe🙏🌷
❤️❤️
Thank you for thinking of us when your people are having such a bad time. Can’t wait to try this. We have wild garlic at the moment so a good recipe to include it. Love recipes using the food processor. Xx
Hey Irene, I hope you will love the recipe! Tell me when you're done. Lots of love ❤
Sometimes I find it difficult to pull past season plants to make room for the next season.
This year (for the first time ever) I had a ridiculous amount of parsley. I didn’t want to send it to the compost bin but I couldn’t imagine how to use it while it remained fresh (too busy right now to dehydrate and save).
And then as if on queue, here you are to show me the light… ÖCCE!
I just made it and it is delicious! Thank you for this gift, Refika! ❤
Thank you Refica, for the wonderful recipe. I’m going to make these right now for my breakfast.
Enjoy and tell us did you like it🤗
@@Refika I loved this recipe. It’s so versatile, quick and easy. This will turn into a go to recipe for me in a pinch. Just utterly fabulous. The Lebnah put it over the top. ❤️
I am making Ozee to but this one looks amazing. I will definitely try it. Thanks Rafika You’re the best as always
❤️❤️
Thanks for this.
I'll love trying some form of these and the sieve trick makes sense.
👍 Great 💞
The Öcce fritters looks amazing…I‘ll definitely try them tomorrow. Thank you Refika and Team for another tasty inspiration.❤️
It seems abit much to say so but, how delicious does this look, so vibrant, ultra fresh herby, lusciousness! 😋
It was! ❤️
Çok kolay ve lezzetli bir tarif. Ramazan için çok iyi olur. Ellinize sağlık. Teşekkür ediyorsunuz 😊

Looks delicious! I’ve done it with spinach, parsley and all the mentioned ingredients, i fried it in the shape of an omelette and top with feta cheese crumbs 😋
I will try your recipe for sure, love the mint and have lots of it in my garden 🤲🏻
All greens work perfect, you can just keep combining them every time ❤️
@@Refika thanks 😊
I love you channel! Watching in Los Angeles, CA
Beautiful!! Reminds me a little of Persian kuku sabzi! So many overlaps! Did you have any more tips about the "mathematics" of fritters like you mentioned? Is there a ratio of vegetables to egg and flour that works well?
Hi Refika I am really big fan of you, I had a party yesterday and made all your recipes menu, people loved it, one day I would like to meet you in person. You are chef ❤
In Tunisia,there are loads of names of dishes that come from turkish, today I learn a new one❤❤❤, so here s a small list:
Brik, obviously Börek but different, a special filo sheet shaped into a square stuffed with tuna egg parsley closed like a triabgle and fried.
LABLEBI, street food chickpeas soup with stale bread harissa and granishes, it is an evolution of an ottoman army dish.
KAFTEJI, a street food favorite too, a mixture of fried potato, tomato, hot pepper with or without pumkin, it used to be served as a side dish in köfteci (kofte shops)
Now Ojja (in arabic, it is written the same way as OCCA in osmanli turkish with the first letter ع becoming silent in latin script ), tunisian Ojja is basically a Menemen with more ingredients. The turkish Occa is called kefta in Tunisia.
The Tunisian Beys (Ottoman rulers) were not the ones responsible for the spread of turkish culinary delicacies, hence the abscence of royal dishes. They rather ate Italian and Berber inspired meals, the turkish influence is more evident on street food and it was explained by some historians by the presence of military personnel on long term deployment in Tunisia during the Spanish reconquista.
Great Recipe.... Looks Very Delicious

İn lebanon we have a very similar dish called ija, in turkish it would be read as icca
Thank you as always ❤
I love so many things about your channel, but this video is a classic example of something I don’t find with other many other channels, and that’s all the other ideas it gives me. Zucchini fritters are a relatively common thing in Australia, as are potato and corn ones, but fritters from herbs look and sound amazing, and I’d never even heard of tomato or lettuce fritters?! Normally I make (and love!) your recipes, but this video is going to send me searching for so many new things to make and try, and I love that :)
Thankyou again for all you do :)
PS I keep meaning to send you photos of stuff I’ve made, but I usually end up finishing the whole thing before I get the photo 😅
Thank you so much! you can do fritters with anything actually. ❤️
looks delicious!
Thank you! ❤️
Very tasty food recipe thank you so much 🌹
Ohh I can't wait to do this!
