Zucchini Fritters

458.  With zucchini being so plentiful in the garden, a great alternative use is a savory fritter.  The recipe is delicious and I paired it with a garlic aioli.

I shredded 4 cups of zucchini and did not drain the liquid.  Added 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, salt and pepper and 1 cup of flour, 2 green onions chopped, a dash of cayenne pepper.

At this point, you can place on a baking sheet and bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes or deep fry in hot oil till crispy.  I baked the fritters and they were delicious.  

"The trouble is, you cannot grow just one zucchini.  Minutes after you plant a single seed, hundreds of zucchini will barge out of the ground and sprawl around the garden, menacing the other vegetables.  At night you will be able to hear the ground quake as more and more zucchinis erupt."
