Zucchini is an abundant summer garden vegetable. This makes a delicious side dish. If you like mushrooms, first sauté then, then add to recipe at the end just before frying. They give the fritters extra moisture and flavor
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini or 2 -3 small zucchinis
- 3 organic eggs or ‘Flax Egg if vegan’
- 2 cloves of garlic peeled
- 1 Cup fresh spinach chopped
- ¼ tsp oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon Onion powder or to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon of pepper or to taste
- ¼ cup gluten free flour
- 2 Cups gently sautéed mushrooms optional
Instructions
- Grated zucchini to make 4 cups. Place zucchini in a large bowl.
- In blender mix eggs
- Add to blender - garlic, spinach, oregano, lemon zest, onion powder, salt and pepper. Pulse blender a few time to mix eggs and combine ingredients. Add GF flour and pulse just enough to blend.
- IF adding mushrooms, add to blender with GF flour and pulse just enough to chop mushrooms and mix altogether.
- Pour entire egg mixture over zucchini and blend together in bowl.
- Heat ¼ cup sunflower oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil sizzles when you drop a small amount of zucchini mixture into the pan. Carefully drop 3 tablespoons of mixture into skillet; smash with fork into fritter. Repeat leaving enough space for fritters to not touch each other.
- Cook fritters 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Turn fritters, and continue cooking on the other side 2 to 3 min.
- Place fritters on wire rack over oven proof plate and keep warm in 350 oven.
- Cook remaining zucchini fritters. Add oil to pan as necessary.
