Preparation

Step 1

Place grated zucchini in a colander; sprinkle lightly with salt and let stand 30 minutes. Press with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible. Zucchini should be fairly dry, and you should have about 2 cups. Place zucchini and remaining ingredients (except oil and butter) in a bowl. Mix well. Form into 8 patties the size of crab cakes. Chill.

You can either pan fry with the oil and butter, cooking both sides until browned, or brush each patty with the oil and butter and then bake in a 450 degree oven until browned. Drain on paper towels.
