Kolokithokeftedes are the Greek mezze fritter that channels summer-season courgettes through grated cheese and fresh herbs. The dish appears in Greek home-cooking from at least the 19th century, with strong roots in the Cyclades (especially Santorini) where courgettes were grown for the summer market. Athens tavernas like Tzitzikas kai Mermigas and Manimani plate them as the canonical opening mezze, served hot with a bowl of tzatziki and lemon wedges.
