Finbar, I've just had the best zuchinni fritters--you can dress up the term with something French, I'm sure--the other night. I'll have to send you the recipe...we can never have too many dishes that consume massive quantities of that prodigious vegetable, to be sure.
Delicious...I think they were basically shredded and drained zukes, flour and some cheese grated in...but they were incredibly good. I had visions of the ingredients that could be mixed in--smoked salmon, ham, bell peppers...the list could be infinite. |
Yeah, we have them sometimes. I don't use flour, just an egg to hold it all together. I keep them fairly simple, well seasoned, some chopped herbs, maybe toss in a sprinkle of crushed, dried chilli.
The zucchini's such a versatile bugger. I came across a really simple but delicious Zucchini Pasta - grate a couple of zucchini, sweat some finely chopped onion in quite a lot of butter in a pan with garlic, add the zucchini and some crushed, dried chilli. Keep the pan on the heat only until the zucchini has softened. Don't overcook or it turns to mush. Stir in the cooked pasta - I use linguine - and turn to make sure the pasta is well coated. Serve with a salad.

That sounds excellent...I will have to give that a go soon. We also have some eggplant coming in...and there's nothing better when you throw some marinade and roasted garlic into the mix.
I love those ingredients that hold flavor. I'd use tofu more, but it is a ***** to cook right it seems. Once I learned the trick of freezing the water out of a block, I had a lot more success.
