Need some advice on zucchini experts.
I have this odd & I’ll odd zucchini plant in my front yard
near some flowering shrubs.
One year it just all by itself grows onthe left side of the yard and the next year on the right side of the yard.
Last year I ignored it & didn’t pick any from it-it had 1 zucchini that appeared & I let it grow & it got humoungous.
This year the zucch plant appeared on the other side and this time I dutifully picked a small one and ate it for dinner one night.
After that within 2=3 days ANOTHER one appeared & I picked that one and ate it. The plant is loaded with blossoms,too
so tonight I went out & looked at it & I have 2 more.
ok, this is fine- keep picking & the plant keeps giving- no prob & plant is being very generous!.
Here’s where I need advice:
There’s tons of recipes for zucchini but I want to make zucchini cakes (savoury)- not as in a baked cake- like patties & fry them up on the stove (too hot to turn the oven on) aka “cutlets”
Many recipes call for simply peeling & grating , squeezing out the liquid , adding egg(s) & spices of your choice.
I’m curious to know if one could boil & mash (including a binder like a egg & breadcrumbs) creating a different texture & then frying them in the pan.
Has anyone here boiled & mashed zucchini and created a cutlet ?
any & all answers appreciated!~~
I’ve used a version of this recipe; it’s very good with Tzatziki sauce:
