Fried zucchini-cakes:
2 zucchini
1 big potato
shredded cheese (as much as you want, i used about 1/2 cup)
3 eggs
2-3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
dill
olive oil
Shred the zucchini, salt them and let them into a strainer for 1/2 hour. Squeeze out all the liquid. Shred the potato and squeeze it out. Add it to the zucchini, add the shredded cheese too. Add eggs, breadcrumbs and chopped dill. Mix them very well. Warm up a few tablespoons of olive oil into a pan and with a spoon add the zucchini batter and form small cakes. Fry them until golden, turn them on the other side and fry again. Take them out on a paper towel. Delicious!!!!
Congratulations on your 1st harvest. The soup & cakes sound good. I make zucchini cakes but never thought about puttin potato in it, I'll have to try it that way as soon as my zucchini come in :)
RăspundețiȘtergereThe recipes sound great! Never had zucchini soup not fried cakes either. I'll have to try them if I get some zucchini.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you, Jennifer and Joan. I was not expecting to have such a satisfaction for my first harvest. I was very delighted. Try these recipes, they are great for summer. You can eat the soup warm or cold from the cooler, if you want.
