ZUCCHINI PANCAKES

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 PANCAKES WITH YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the grated vegs in a bowl and add onion, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 300*.
• In a 7 1/2" nonstick omelet pan, heat 1 teaspoons of the veg. oil together with 1/4 teaspoons of melted butter over med. high heat until hot.
• Pour 3/4 cup of the grated vegs. and spread mixture to the edges of pan, pressing down firmly with a rubber spatula to form a pancake about 1/4" thick.
• Cook about 3 mins., until edges begin to brown.
• Gently lift pancake with the spatula to check underside. If deep golden brown in color turn or flip the pancake and cook 3 to 4 minutes more, until golden.
• Remove pancake to paper towel to drain, then transfer to a baking sheet.

• Set up your grill for even medium-high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, flour, scallions, dill and lemon zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the zucchinis and potatoes and mix to combine. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the mixture into balls on a cookie tray.
• Place a large cast-iron pan on the grill and add a good splash of oil (it should be 1- to 1 1/2-inches deep in the pan). Set a cooling rack in a sheet tray and set aside.
• Bring the oil to 350 degrees F, then add 3 balls to the pan and flatten into pancakes. Brown and crisp on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and brown and crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to the cooling rack set and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining potato pancakes, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.

• Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush large nonstick skillet with enough oil to coat; heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop zucchini mixture into skillet by scant 1 tablespoonfuls, spacing apart. Using spatula, flatten cakes to 2-inch rounds.

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES WITH SMOKED TROUT & DILLED YOGURT

Steps:

• 1 - Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor or use a mandoline to cut into thin matchsticks. Toss with ¾ tsp. salt in a colander set over a large bowl. Allow to sit for 5 minutes until liquid begins to collect in the bottom of the bowl. Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can (I measured the liquid I removed--about ¾ c., if you were curious). 2 - Beat the eggs with ¼ tsp. salt and ½ tsp. black pepper. Add the zucchini, sliced onion, and 1 Tbsp. each dill and chives. Toss with the flour and baking powder and stir until incorporated. 3 - Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and coat well with oil. Drop ¼ c. mounds of the zucchini pancake batter on the griddle and flatten slightly to make 3 in. circles. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. 4 - Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, remaining herbs, a pinch of salt, and a few twists of pepper in a small bowl. 5 - Divide pancakes between plates, top with the flaked trout and a spoonful of yogurt sauce.
