Ingredients
Product | amount |
Zucchini | 1 PC. (big) |
Chicken egg | 2 pcs. |
Dill greens | 1/2 beam |
Wheat flour | 50-70 g |
Baking powder for the dough | 1 tsp |
Garlic | 1-3 cloves |
Pamezan cheese (optional) | 30 g |
Salt | 2/3 tsp |
Pepper | 1/4 tsp |
Step cooking
- For this recipe we need 1 large zucchini or several small ones. Large zucchini is desirable to peel, since it is already harsh. If you use very young small zucchini, you can not remove the peel.
- Also pay attention to whether there are seeds inside. Formed large seeds are best removed, otherwise they can significantly affect the perception of the dish.
- If you salt the zucchini immediately, then they secrete juice. Many recipes advise against this. But in order to cook the correct pancakes, you need to salt the zucchini and leave them for a while, so that all the excess juice stands out at the very beginning, and we can squeeze it out. That is why we rub the zucchini on a coarse grater, salt and wait until the maximum amount of moisture is released.
- Then squeeze the moisture, leaving a dry zucchini.
- Finely chop the dill. We need about half a small bunch. In a container with squeezed squash, add 2 eggs and chopped dill.
- We squeeze out or finely chop the garlic.
- A little pepper, add flour and baking powder for the dough. Mix everything well.
- Then, if desired, rub the parmesan and once again thoroughly knead.
- Pour the vegetable oil into the pan and heat it well. For frying fritters, it is better to choose the average intensity of heating the burners. We lay out the finished dough on a preheated pan with a tablespoon and carefully level it so that the pancakes turn out to be of the correct shape. If the dough is very sticky to the spoon, it can periodically be moistened in water.
- Fry on both sides until golden brown.
- We put the finished pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels so that they absorb the excess oil. Serve hot or chilled as a cold snack. Serve potato pancakes with sour cream or with any sauce. Enjoy your meal.
