Categories     side-dish

Time 24m

Yield 10 (3-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons grated red onion
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
6 to 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter and vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
  • Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES



Zucchini Pancakes image

Mucver (pronounced moosh-vair) are delicate, crisp zucchini pancakes popular in Turkey. This version has not just shredded zucchini, but also tiny clouds of feta and a sprinkling of minced fresh dill and scallions. They are crisp on the outside, tender within and subtly herbaceous. The trick to making the pancakes crisp and not soggy is to squeeze all the water out of the zucchini before mixing it with the other ingredients. A little brute force is required.

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, weeknight, pancakes, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), shredded
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 scallions, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped dill
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 to 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, more as needed
2/3 cup plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place zucchini in a colander over a bowl, and mix with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Allow to drain for five minutes. Transfer to a cloth kitchen towel, and squeeze hard to extract as much moisture as possible. Squeeze a second time; volume will shrink to about half the original.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini and eggs. Using a fork, mix well. Add flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, olive oil, feta, scallions, dill and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well, add baking powder, and mix again.
  • Place a cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Place heaping tablespoons of zucchini batter in pan several inches apart, allowing room to spread. Flatten them with a spatula if necessary; pancakes should be about 3/8 inch thick and about 3 inches in diameter. Fry until golden on one side, then turn and fry again until golden on other side. Repeat once or twice, frying about 5 to 6 minutes total, so pancakes get quite crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and keep warm in oven. Continue frying remaining batter, adding more oil to pan as needed. Serve hot.
  • For yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic and salt. Mix well, and serve on the side or on pancakes.

ZUCCHINI-POTATO PANCAKES



Zucchini-Potato Pancakes image

This recipe was posted in our local newspaper, and my husband and I thought it sounded good. The recipe is very user friendly with the most work being the shredding of the zucchini and the potato. The work is well worth it though--trust me!

Provided by Ernies Bert

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 6 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large zucchini, about 1/2 pound, ends trimmed
1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large russet potato, about 1/2 pound, peeled
1/3 cup diced onion
1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
fresh ground pepper
2 -4 tablespoons sunflower oil or 2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Shred the zucchini into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer zucchini to a colander in a bowl and let zucchini drain at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Using your hands or a towel, squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Shred the potato into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater.
  • In a bowl, mix together the onion, egg, and flour, and pepper to taste. Add zucchini and potatoes; mix well. Work quickly because the zucchini-potato mixture oxidizes and discolors once hit by the fresh air.
  • Heat 2 to 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot enough to create a small sizzle, ladle the mixture into the pan to form six 4-inch cakes. Fry until golden on the bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the pancakes over until browned on the second side, about 6 minutes longer.
  • Serve at once with a dollop of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and watery.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly. Use a box grater with large holes to grate the zucchini. Avoid using a food processor, as this will make the zucchini too mushy.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and press down on it with a spoon or your hands to remove as much moisture as possible.
  • Use a good quality flour. All-purpose flour is a good option, but you can also use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour. Make sure the flour is fresh and has no lumps.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Zucchini pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:
