Worth the effort. Everyone likes them. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
4 cups shredded zucchini |
2 large onions, chopped |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons chopped parsley |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground thyme |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup crushed saltine crackers |
1 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup vegetable oil, or as needed |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, or to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir zucchini, onion, and garlic in hot oil until vegetables are limp and moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir basil, parsley, black pepper, and thyme into the vegetables; remove from heat. Transfer zucchini mixture to a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir eggs, crushed crackers, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into the zucchini mixture until it binds together; shape into 14 3-inch patties.
3. Pour enough vegetable oil in a skillet to reach about 1/2 inch deep; heat over medium-high heat.
4. Cook patties, 3 to 4 at a time, in hot oil until well browned, about 2 minutes per side. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese to serve.
