There is nothing wrong with a glut of zucchini. Make zucchini fritters.Grate zucchini into a colander. Add a sprinkle of salt. Let sit for approx. 15-20 mins. Squeeze out excess water.
Then add any herbs and spices you like. Finely-chopped spring onions and garlic are nice, too. You can add eggs and a little flour. But you can leave that out. Fresh bread crumbs can be added, too. We like small cubes of mozarella or feta in there.Then put a scoop full onto the barbie or a hot non-stick frying pan, flatten out a bit.
Don't touch for a few minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy. Then flip them over. You may need two spatulas to do so, as they break up easily (especially if you use flour very sparingly).
Serve them with home-made aioli, if you like. Or any condiment. Or leave that out and scoff the lot the way they are. They are nice cold, if there happen to be any left over.Ps.: We don't have a glut yet, but the neighbour gnomes do. So we were happy to receive their excess. Thank you, Neighbour Gnomes!
Yes, Heaven. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteMy beloved has a glut of parsnips, and he is about to try something similar. I make this all the time with potatoes.
Grow on Zucchinis!
They look scrumptious!

Thanks Veggie Gnome! I need a few more recipes to deal with some rather overgrown zuccinis http://tamarmeanderings.blogspot.com/2009/01/january-7th-2009.html.
ReplyDeleteSO far they have found their way into stir fries, curry, and had a baking. I like the idea of the fritters. Ideal kid food too.
