Made this last night. Found a recipe on the internet and loosely followed it. Served with an herbed sour cream.

Herbed Sour Cream

1 cup sour cream
1 t lemon zest
1 t fresh lemon juice
1 T each, fresh basil and chives, minced
1/2 T fresh dill, minced
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix well and set aside.

Fritters

2 medium zucchini, ends removed
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 ear of fresh corn
1 egg
1/3 cup, or more, flour
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1 t baking powder
Tony’s
Fresh pepper
EVOO and butter, 3/1 ratio

Method

In food processor, grate the squash, onions and garlic. Put in a colander, and a t of salt , and let sit to drain for 10 minutes.

Cut the kernels from an ear of corn. Squeeze excess moisture from the minced vegetables. Add the corn, beaten egg, baking powder, cheese, and seasonings.

Heat skillet to medium. Add a few T of EVOO and a little butter.

Add the fritter mix, @ 1/3 cup, and press to 1/2 inch thick. Fry until golden, flip and repeat. About 2 minutes per side. Serve with a dollop of herbed sour cream on top. Fantastic. .

that sounds great I’m going to try today.
I think I’ll grate the zucchini and onion though instead of mince

Yep. I used the grating plate in a food processor. Very easy and quick.

Would Monterey Jack work in place of the Swiss? I have a bunch left over from something else

Certainly. Just fine, Cheddar would work, too.

you don’t really notice the cheese flavor (or at least I didn’t) but it adds body and mouthfeel that is pleasing.

my lunch today will be a fritter/bacon/tomato sandwich

Yep. The cheese is as much binder as anything. I have a Romano/Parm mix to use on my next batch.

Gonna make a batch of these today. No sour cream, so I'll add some herbs to greek yogurt instead. Will be a good use of the baseball bat sized zucchini sitting in my kitchen.

greek yogurt


That was the other option for the herbed sauce, per the recipe I saw on the net. I had sour cream so I used it.

Made these tonight and they are as good as advertised. I didn't make any sauce and used produce from Kroger shelf and they were fantastic. I made a huge ribeye and served these as a side. Everyone was a big fan. I can't imagine how good they are with home grown produce.

Cheers Otis2 for the recipe!
