Fritter Cakes
- 2 cups zucchini grated
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs or regular, plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onion finely diced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For Serving
- plain yogurt or sour cream optional
- chives optional
Grate zucchini and drain. If using fresh zucchini, measure grated zucchini into microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Let cool. Place zucchini on a clean, dry kitchen towel. Twist towel and wring out as much liquid as you can. Discard liquid.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add egg, 2 Tbsp flour, bread crumbs, onion and salt/pepper. Add drained zucchini, mix well to combine.
In a large skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat to medium-high.
Form zucchini mixture into small cakes. Put 1/2 cup flour on a plate and gently coat both sides of the fritter in flour. Working in batches, fry on each side 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Place on paper towel lined plate to drain.
Serve warm with yogurt/sour cream and chives on top, as desired.
