Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: about 8 to 10 pancakes
User Rating: 4 Stars

1 1/2 pounds zucchini (about 3 large)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 large egg
3/4 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
Black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for brushing skillet

Grate zucchini on the largest holes of a grater into a colander and combine well with salt. Let zucchini drain 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Using hands, squeeze as much liquid from zucchini as possible. In a bowl stir together zucchini, onion, egg, bread crumbs, and pepper to taste until combined well.

Lightly brush a 12-inch non-stick skillet with oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Drop four 1/8-cup measures of zucchini mixture into skillet and with a spatula flatten into 1/4-inch-thick pancakes. Cook pancakes 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through, transferring pancakes to an ovenproof plate. Keep pancakes warm in oven while making more pancakes in same manner.

Make zucchini bread or zucchini relish. You can also cut up the zucchini, bread it and fry it up. It's delicious.

Answer 7

I like to:
-grill them on the barbecue in planks with Italian seasoning
-cut them up and put them in spaghetti sauce
-grate them and make zucchini bread
-put them in a vegetable soup
-grate them and saute them with onions and mix with eggs

Zucchini are very versatile and take on the taste of anything you cook them with while adding a subtle vegetable flavor, similar to parsley but more substantial. Just don't over cook them as they become mushy.

Answer 8

i like them raw or grilled w/ a little olive oil, sea salt and pepper
some people give em to their neighbors or friends
