zucchini fritters
By Chezlamere
If potato latkes have a twin here they are! The fritters are made by mixing shredded zucchini with Parmesan cheese, scallions, egg, parsley, dill and flour and then pan-fried to a deep golden brown. One of the secrets to getting a good crust is to salt them to draw out the water. It sounds like a bother but it’s really quite painless and definitely worth it.
The end result is a crusty outside and incredibly creamy middle; almost like custard. A little sour cream, tzatziki or remoulade would go well and they can be eaten hot, at room temperature or cold. But they disappear so fast you hardly need a sauce to go with them. I learned too late that I should of doubled the recipe. Good luck getting them to the table! The alluring smell will mark a path straight to the kitchen where hungry hands will grab longingly for them...their seriously addicting!
