Instructions:
Transform your zucchini into golden, crispy patties with this easy recipe! Start by washing, drying, and grating the zucchini. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Finely chop the onion (or shallot) and your choice of fresh herbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chopped onion, and herbs. Add the cream and egg, stirring until well incorporated. Finally, mix in the flour, salt, pepper, and your favorite spices for a flavorful kick. Heat a mixture of butter and oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop small portions of the mixture into the pan, flattening them into patty shapes. Cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot. These zucchini patties are perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or a healthy snack!
