Zucchini Cakes - zucchini

Method

• Wash and cut the ends off of one large zucchini.
• Shred it using the large holes of a cheese grater.
• Squeeze the shredded zucchini inside of a clean towel until youve removed as much liquid as possible.
• Place shredded zucchini into a medium-sized bowl.
• Add minced garlic, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs, salt and pepper.
• Stir with a fork until well mixed.
• Heat olive oil (about 1/4 deep in bottom of skillet) to a medium heat.
• When the oil is hot enough, drop a glob of the zucchini batter into the skillet and flatten it a little bit with a fork.
• After about two minutes, turn the cakes over (they should be a nice, golden-brown) and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until done.
• Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.
