Yield Makes 40 poppers and 2 cups dip

Number Of Ingredients 15

For dip:
2 cups sour cream
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 1 lime)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For poppers:
3 medium zucchini
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, lightly whisked
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ½ cup)
20 fresh large sage leaves, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
About 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make dip:
  • In small bowl, stir together sour cream, parsley, sugar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. (Dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 24 hours.)
  • Make poppers:
  • Line colander with clean kitchen towel or triple layer paper towels.
  • In food processor, coarsely grate zucchini. (There should be about 3 cups.) Transfer to prepared colander. Wrap towel around zucchini, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to medium bowl, then stir in egg and egg yolk, flour, Parmesan, sage, and garlic. Using hands, roll mixture into ¾-inch-diameter balls.
  • In heavy large skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1/4-inch oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 5, drop balls into oil and, using slotted spatula, flatten each ball to approximately 1 inch round.
  • Fry poppers, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 2½ minutes per side, then transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve warm or at room temperature with sour cream dip. (Poppers are best served right after frying, but can be prepared ahead and kept at room temperature up to 2 hours. If desired, rewarm in 350°F oven, turning once, 10 minutes.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, medium-sized zucchini without blemishes or bruises. Younger zucchini tend to have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Prepare the zucchini properly: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim the ends. Depending on the recipe, you may need to grate, slice, or spiralize the zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked zucchini will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can enhance the flavor of zucchini dip. Some popular choices include basil, dill, oregano, thyme, garlic, and lemon zest.
  • Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld and develop. It also makes the dip thicker and easier to spread.
