Ladies' Thighs (Kadin Budu)
"These are tasty little croquettes - Turkish in origin. The recipe originally called for beyaz peynir which is a Turkish cheese so if you can find it in your area use this instead of the feta cheese.
The croquettes can be shallow fried or for a healthier option baked in the oven. I have freezed them and reheated, they taste fine."

This is in The Complete Middle East cookbook by Tess Mallos. I give it 4 1/2 stars for DH and I. I make this and serve it with Recipe #360252 and a salad. I find it works better without coating with the egg but maybe because I use rice flour rather than regular because of an allergy. I have made these without dill and they were still pretty good. I have also made them in a patty shape though that is not traditional and the name of the recipe does not fit it then. I just use a regular cooking onion for the brown onion. I will make these again.

Recently relocated to Queensland, warmer seas for sailing and fishing. Aside from cooking for my family I do cake decorating (mainly wedding cakes) and recently unusual jams - adding spices and herb - and preserves and cheese making
