Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini's grated

• 1 garlic clove minced

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 3 tablespoons all purpose flour

• handful of freshly chopped Italian parsley

• handful of freshly torn basil

• 1/3 cup grated parmigiana reggiano

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/2 cup olive oil for frying (you can use any oil you wish)

• zucchini flowers (optional)

Step 1: Let’s Get Started

Start by grating the zucchini. Place in a paper towel and squeeze out some of the liquid. Add the zucchini to a bowl and crack in one egg. Lightly mix and then add in the baking powder and flour. Next add the chopped garlic and herbs and mix together.

Lastly add in parmigiano, salt and pepper. Once all the ingredients are in the bowl mix well until combined. Your mix should look pasty and thick like pancake batter.

Step 2: The Frying

Next heat up pan on medium and add the olive oil. Scoop a tablespoon of filling into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes a side. Dab the excess oil on a paper towel. Serve warm.
