Zucchini Hash Browns - Vegan 5 pts xp

[Guest guest]

Love this recipe. Make them a little larger (say 4 " diameter or so),slather with

salsa and layer into a torte. Feta works nicely too.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 garlic cloves -- finely chopped

1 cup chopped red onion

1 teaspoon thyme

1 tablespoon basil

4 medium zucchinis -- grated

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup black olives -- chopped

1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese or soy substitute

4 eggs -- separated or egg substitute

 

 

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic and onions until the

onions begin to look translucent.

 

Add the herbs and cook for another few minutes. Add the zucchini and lower the

heat. Cook for another 5 minutes.

 

Remove this from the heat, taste, and add salt and pepper as you like. When

you've gotten the flavor you like, add the parsley and olives. Taste again to

see what the parsley and olives have done to your flavoring and adjust if

necessary. Set aside.

 

In a separate bowl, mix the flour and Parmesan.

 

Stir this into the zucchini mixture.

 

Whisk the egg yolks and add them to the mixture.

 

Then, beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture.

 

Heat a skillet and add some oil for cooking. When the oil begins to sizzle, add

the batter to the skillet (a la pancakes). From here, you can work the fritters

much like pancakes. Carefully flip them over when they begin to brown. Don't

allow them to burn.

 

Between each fritter set, inspect the pan to make sure there is enough oil so

that you do not burn the next set.

 

Serve these with fresh tomatoes or salsa.
