From softgrey 16 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Combination of a recipe from my Sicilian grandmother and Bon Apetit Magazine w/my own variations. Wouldn't hurt to add some chopped garlic.... it never does!... ;-)
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini, grated shopping list
- 1 finely chopped yellow onion shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley shopping list
- 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 1 cup (toasted) panko breadcrumbs*can be found at the asian grocer shopping list
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten shopping list
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil shopping list
- vegetable oil (for frying) shopping list
- salt shopping list
How to make it
- Toss zucchini, onion and salt in large colander.
- Let stand at least 1 hour.
- Toast bread crumbs in a small dry pan. Set aside.
- Put zucchini in a dishtowel and wring it out, squeezing as DRY as possible.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Mix in next 5 ingredients, including bread crumbs.
- Pour 1 inch vegetable oil into a heavy large saute pan.
- Heat oil and keep on medium to LOW heat.
- Shape zucchini mixture into small patties, squeezing out any excess moisture you can. The smaller and drier the patty, the easier it is to keep them from breaking apart.
- Fry in batches until fritters are brown, turning once, about 3 minutes total. *do not crowd in pan...*note-use a slotted spoon to gently place the patties in the oil.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the patties to paper towels to drain.
- Sprinkle liberally with salt while still warm.
- *May be served with a yoghurt dipping sauce...but very tasty on their own...
- Just pick up and munch away. Can be frozen.
