Zucchini Fritters
In early spring and summer, zucchini fritters are very popular and super quick to make. They are easy to grow and can be served to compliment most party foods as a delicious snack. They also make a great filling for vegetarian sliders. For my lunch today though, I am serving mine with some baby spinach leaves, strawberries and oranges.
Ingredients for Zucchini Fritters:
Zucchini fritters are a savory dish made from grated zucchini mixed with various ingredients, formed into small patties, and then fried until golden and crispy. They are delicious as a snack, side dish, or even a light meal. The fritters are popular because they are easy to make and a great way to use up an abundance of zucchini, especially during the summer months.
The concept of a fritter has given rise to many different renditions of it. It is most often used as a method to cook shellfish in a convenient way. Mussels, scallops, cockles, prawns and other shellfish are combined with egg, flour and seasonings, along with other vegetables and then shallow fried.
