Just had a lovely weekend with Friends of Food, Jen and Kris. To top off all of the incredible hospitality, Jen sent us home with some produce from her food co-op. I couldn't wait to make something of this gift, so tonight's dinner included a peach and plum fruit salad and zucchini fritters. The fritters I found on my favorite Flickr recipe group called Recipes to Share. This recipe was originally posted by Vita Arina at this link.
I am going to expand upon it a bit here because I want to share it with Jen and other busy cooks who might be looking for a simple zucchini dish to cook up in a short amount of time.
Zucchini Fritters
Grate 1 Zucchini into a large bowl.
Press any excess liquid out of it with a paper towel.
Into this bowl, mix:
2 large eggs
8-9 tablespoons all-purpose flour,
2/3 cup plain yogurt,
1 TBSP Parmesan cheese
Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste.
Heat 1-2 TBSP of Olive Oil in a large frying pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the Zucchini Mix into the Frying Pan, trying to keep a circular shape, like dollar pancakes.
When the edges start to brown, flip the fritters. Continue to fry up like pancakes.
Put them on a plate, covering the cooling ones with the latest out of the frying pan to keep the stack warm.
Serve it with Ranch Dressing, or Herb Yogurt Sauce.
