[recipe] Zucchini Pancakes

[Guest guest]

I was reading through my batch of saved digests,

and saw several posts about those faux crab

cakes made with zucchini. It reminded me of this

summer favorite dish. I love these served with

fresh chive sour cream and a salad of baby greens.

 

Zucchini Pancakes

 

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini

Few shakes of hotsauce (optional)

1 egg, beaten

2 Tbs chopped onion

2 Tbs mayonnaise

2 Tsp butter or margarine

Sour cream, optional

 

In a bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, oregano,

garlic powder, salt and pepper. Combine zucchini, egg,

hot sauce (optional), onion and mayonnaise; stir into

dry ingredients until well blended.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Drop zucchini mixture by

half cupfuls into skillet; press lightly to flatten. Fry until

golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on

paper towels. Serve with sour cream or spaghetti sauce

and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Yield: 3 servings
