Zucchini Pancakes With Chicken Sauce Food

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
• Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

ZUCCHINI CAKES WITH HERB SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Make the herb sour cream: Whisk the sour cream, chives and dill in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Make the zucchini cakes: Mix the zucchini, breadcrumbs, parmesan, basil, oregano, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, then stir the egg mixture into the zucchini mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Working in batches, form patties with the zucchini batter (about 1/4 cup for each) and add to the skillet. Pan-fry the cakes until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Serve while hot and crisp with the herb sour cream.

MOM'S ZUCCHINI PANCAKES

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop rounded spoonfuls of zucchini batter into hot oil; pan fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate.

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES WITH CHICKEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon margarine in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir cream of chicken soup and milk into the skillet until well mixed. Add cooked chicken and simmer until hot. Cover and keep warm over low heat until ready to use.
• Stir eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, chives, and zucchini together in a large bowl.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1/4 cup scoops of the zucchini mixture in the skillet in batches, flattening each mound slightly to form a pancake. Pan-fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Spoon chicken sauce over zucchini pancakes to serve.

ZUCCHINI FRITTERS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim ends off zucchini and grate them either on the large holes of a box grater or, if you have one, using the shredding blade of a food processor. The latter is my favorite as I'm convinced it creates the coarsest and most rope-like strands and frankly, I like my fritters to look like mops.
• In a large bowl, toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and set aside for 10 minutes. Wring out the zucchini in one of the following ways: pressing it against the holes of a colander with a wooden spoon to extract the water, squeezing out small handfuls at a time, or wrapping it up in a clean dishtowel or piece of cheese cloth and wringing away. You'll be shocked (I was!) by the amount of liquid you'll lose, but this is a good thing as it will save the fritters from sogginess.
• Return deflated mass of zucchini shreds to bowl. Taste and if you think it could benefit from more salt (most rinses down the drain), add a little bit more; we found 1/4 teaspoon more just right. Stir in scallions, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, and egg and some freshly ground black pepper. In a tiny dish, stir together flour and baking powder, then stir the mixture into the zucchini batter.
• In a large heavy skillet - cast iron is dreamy here - heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop small bunches of the zucchini mixture onto the skillet only a few at a time so they don't become crowded and lightly nudge them flatter with the back of your spatula. Cook the fritters over moderately high heat until the edges underneath are golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. If you find this happening too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Flip the fritters and fry them on the other side until browned underneath again, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain briefly on paper towels then transfer to baking sheet and then into the warm oven until needed. Repeat process, keeping the pan well-oiled, with remaining batter. I like to make sure that the fritters have at least 10 minutes in the oven to finish setting and getting extra crisp.
• For the topping, if using, stir together the sauce ingredients and adjust the flavors to your taste. Dollop on each fritter before serving. These fritters are also delicious with a poached or fried egg on top, trust me.

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES WITH YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• To make sauce: In a ceramic or plastic bowl, combine all ingredients, cover, and chill.
• (If you are making sauce in advance, add lemon juice just before serving, or yogurt will separate).
• To make the pancakes: Grate zucchini and potatoes on the large hole side of a hand held box grater or in a food processor fitted with shredding disk.
• Put the grated vegs in a bowl and add onion, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 300*.
• In a 7 1/2" nonstick omelet pan, heat 1 teaspoons of the veg. oil together with 1/4 teaspoons of melted butter over med. high heat until hot.
• Pour 3/4 cup of the grated vegs. and spread mixture to the edges of pan, pressing down firmly with a rubber spatula to form a pancake about 1/4" thick.
• Cook about 3 mins., until edges begin to brown.
• Gently lift pancake with the spatula to check underside. If deep golden brown in color turn or flip the pancake and cook 3 to 4 minutes more, until golden.
• Remove pancake to paper towel to drain, then transfer to a baking sheet.
• Place in oven to keep warm.
• Make more pancakes in same manner (add 1 teaspoons of oil and a bit of butter for each one).
• To serve, put a generous 1/4 cup of greens on 6 salad plates.
• Spread each pancake with 2 tbls. yogurt dill sauce, then put pancake on greens.
• Arrange 2 slices of salmon on top.
