savoury Zucchini PancakesTake 2 cups of grated zucchini , append two beaten eggs , 2 tablespoon of flour , and 2 teaspoons of some refreshing herbaceous plant you have and 1 cup feta or mozzarella or cheddar or whatever cheese you have ( please , no Velveeeeeta ) . If you want more , then just up the element like 3 cups zucchini , 3 eggs , 3 tablespoons flour , etc . Just do n’t up the herb , keep it at 2 tsp so not to deluge the flavor of the courgette ( what ? courgette has flavor ? Yes , at least two change do – Costata Romanesco and Benning ’s Green Tint ( not a courgette but a delicious summer squash ) . All the others , in my legal opinion , are worthy of either the compost nap or the chicken coop or both ) Then saute them in olive oil until brown on both English . This is my favorite way to cook super - sized zucchini .
