I made these last night and everyone loved them...
Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes
"These really taste like crab cakes but without the crab, and is a really good way to utilize that bumper crop of zucchini!" Original recipe yield: 4 to 6 servings.
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in seasoned crumbs, minced onion, and seasoning. Mix well.
Shape mixture into patties. Dredge in flour.
In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown on both sides.
And this... (was a little dry, I'll use more squash next time.)
