Cooking Conversion Table
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons each of butter and peanut or vegetable oil for frying
3 cups grated zucchini (let stand for about 20 minutes)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup green onion, minced
3/4-1 cup cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon Johnny's seasoning spice (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional ingredients:
3-4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Grated carrots
Minced garlic (or garlic powder)
Diced peppers or any other grated or minced vegetables you like
Also very good when topped with a dollop of sour cream!^
Instructions:
Heat 1 tablespoon each of the butter and oil in a 12 inch skillet or on a griddle over moderate
heat
With your hands, squeeze out the excess moisture from the shredded zucchini and put into a
large mixing bowl
Add a slightly beaten egg, 3/4 cup of the cracker crumbs, onions, Johnny's seasoning, salt and
pepper and any optional additions you desire
If the batter is too moist, add remaining cracker crumbs or enough to hold the patties together
With a spoon, drop the batter into the hot butter-oil combination to form 2 - 2 1/2 inch patties
Flatten each patty slightly with the back of your spoon
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown
Salt and pepper each patty if desired
Keep warm in a very low oven while you fry the remaining patties, or take them right to the table
to be eaten (ENJOYED!) Serve with a lemon wedge.
