Greek
Zucchini Cakes - Sara Mouton
1
pound zucchini, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon table salt
3/4
cup crumbled feta cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 green onions, thinly
sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped pine nuts
1
tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped
fresh oregano leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly milled black pepper
Olive oil
Combine
the grated zucchini and kosher salt. Set aside for 5 minutes (no more, or it will
be mush). Rinse in cold water and squeeze dry in a kitchen towel or press in a
strainer or colander until dry.
Combine
the cheese, egg, green onions, flour, pine nuts, dill, oregano, garlic, and pepper
in a large bowl; fold in the zucchini. Form into 24 small cakes (about 2 tablespoons
of mixture for each) and saute in olive oil, turning once, until browned, about
3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately
PLEASE
NOTE: Need to play around with this recipe as the cakes were so wet they wouldn't
hold together, made two and put the rest in a casserole and baked. Delicious all
the same but needs work...
