Zucchini Patties

September 3, 2010

This recipe also calls for a Parmesan sauce that I will call ‘optional’ since it calls for 1/2 stick of butter. Too rich for my blood!

Fresh Ingredients
1-1/2 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 small onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp butter

PantryFare
8 tbsp flour

Oils and Spices
pinch of basil
herb salt & pepper to taste
oil for frying

Saute the grated zucchini and carrots in 2 tbsp butter for 8-10 minutes. Beat egg and milk, add basil, salt and pepper. Add to vegetables along with enough flour to form the mixture into patties. Pan fry the patties in an oiled skillet until golden.

For the sauce melt 1/2 stick butter and stir in 3 tbsp flour. Add 1/2 cup milk, stirring over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Add 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese and simmer a few minutes as you stir. Serve on top of patties.
