ZUCCHINI FRITTER AND PANCAKE RECIPES

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS RECIPE S
This is one of my favorite summer recipes and it time to harvest the rest of the zucchini's. I share my zucchinis recipe. I've gotten positive feed back by some of my daughters asking for the recipe and wanting me to make some fritters when they visit and from some of from my neighbors who liked them. They're very nutritious, with lots fresh garden vegetables which is usually growing in your summer gardens, or if in season very cheap and reasonable to make. We need more good vegetarian recipes for our families.

One recipe is for a light lunch and the dinner version is just by topping it with a gravy with rice, potato or even by itself with toasted whole wheat bread. I since have done the zucchini pancake for breakfast and really like it.
Zucchini Fritters
Luncheon: This taste very good even if you do not like zucchini Vegetables always are more flavorful than seasoning with meat.
2 cups chopped zucchini (abt. two small or lger. one cut up in very small pieces)
1 med. chopped onion (food chopper)
1 chopped carrot (or, graded will do)
1 egg (binds it together)
2-3 Tbs. flour (coating all ingredients with flour or corn meal to hold it together)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix the patties together, flatten them down a bit, frying in a good olive oil or mono oil. Don’t turn over till crisp on both sides. Drain on paper towels.


For a dinner meal (optional) top them with cream of chicken soup, or using a White Sauce gravy by mixing butter, flour, cream or milk, and salt and pepper to taste until thickened.


Vegetable pancake: (The recipe is just more thin out with more flour)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup grated zucchini
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat together the egg, milk, carrots, zucchini, and onions. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.


Using a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Pour the batter by tablespoons into the pan, making a few pancakes at a time. Cook about 2 minutes on each side and golden brown. Add the remaining oil to the pan as needed. Serve pancakes at once with butter, 1-2 tbs of maple syrup or honey (optional). YUM YUM!
