Crispy Zucchini Cakes image

These golden, crispy cakes are reminiscent of potato pancakes. Serve them as a side dish with just about any summer meal. I haven't had a chance to try these yet, but they sound yummy. This recipe is from the Aug/Sept Cooking Pleasure magazine.

Time 30m

Yield 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 small zucchini (about 1 1/2 lb)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
1/2 medium onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, divided
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 -4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Shred zucchini in food processor or with large holes of box grater (you should have about 6 cups). Toss with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shred onion. Firmly squeeze zucchini to drain excess liquid; return to bowl. Stir in onion, flour, egg, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the dill, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil (enough to form a thin film) in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of the batter into skillet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Gently press to form 3 1/2 inch pancakes 1/2 inch thick. Cook in batches 7 to 9 minutes or until golden-brown, turning once and adding additional oil as needed.
  • Meanwhile, combine sour cream, lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon dill, serve with pancakes.

These were delicious! I served them with a side of roasted potatoes and they were the perfect comfort food on a cold winter night.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably halve the amount of cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I actually really enjoyed these cakes! They were crispy, flavorful, and went great with my favorite dipping sauce.

These were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

The flavor was great, but the cakes were a bit dry. I might add some more grated zucchini or maybe some chopped onion next time.

These were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying.

These are so easy to make and so delicious! I've made them several times now, and they're always a hit. I like to serve them with a side of roasted red peppers.

These zucchini cakes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! I added a bit of feta cheese to the batter for an extra burst of flavor. Served with tzatziki sauce, they were a hit at our summer party!
