SAVORY BAKED ZUCCHINI CAKES
This is based--very loosely!--on the tomato-zucchini fritter recipe from the Veganomicon cookbook. You can probably make it without a food processor, but it will definitely be easier to grate everything with one. You can either fry these cakes or bake them; fried will result in an oilier texture, but a crisper crust. An egg could probably be added to make the cakes firmer, if you like a firmer cake. This recipe would also benefit from fresh herbs; just remember you need more fresh herbs to get the same flavor punch. You could prepare the cakes through the roll-in-bread crumbs stage a day ahead, and refrigerate them until you're ready to cook, if need be. They'd be delicious served with a green-olive tapenade.

Steps:
- Grate the zucchini, toss with salt (1-2 shakes) and let sit in a colander while you prep the other ingredients.
- Grate the onions. Let the onion juice drain away.
- Process the garlic and walnuts until very finely chopped.
- Press as much liquid from the onions and zucchini as possible, then combine with the garlic, walnuts, herbs, and cheese in a medium-sized bowl.
- IF BAKING: preheat oven to 350°F Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Shape zucchini mixture into smallish balls (about two tbsp each, or about 2 inches across when slightly flattened) and roll in bread crumbs and flatten slightly. If baking, you can arrange them on the baking sheet; if frying, arrange them on a plate but be sure to leave space between the cakes so they don't stick together.
- To fry: heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When a drop of water sizzles, add the cakes and fry over medium heat until the outside is crispy and brown (about 5-7 minutes per side). Be gentle in flipping the cakes.
- To bake: space on lightly oiled pan, and bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes, flipping about halfway through the baking. (This method won't get them as crispy around the edges, but if you're already baking something and/or you want a lower-fat option, the result is just as tasty.) Again, be gentle in flipping the cakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with the oil. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, and a few turns of pepper. Dip each round into the Parmesan mixture, coating it evenly on both sides, pressing the coating on to stick, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the zucchini rounds until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove with spatula. Serve immediately.

These golden, crispy cakes are reminiscent of potato pancakes. Serve them as a side dish with just about any summer meal. I haven't had a chance to try these yet, but they sound yummy. This recipe is from the Aug/Sept Cooking Pleasure magazine.

Steps:
- Shred zucchini in food processor or with large holes of box grater (you should have about 6 cups). Toss with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shred onion. Firmly squeeze zucchini to drain excess liquid; return to bowl. Stir in onion, flour, egg, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the dill, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil (enough to form a thin film) in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of the batter into skillet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Gently press to form 3 1/2 inch pancakes 1/2 inch thick. Cook in batches 7 to 9 minutes or until golden-brown, turning once and adding additional oil as needed.
- Meanwhile, combine sour cream, lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon dill, serve with pancakes.
