The mixture is then pressed into patties and pan fried in olive oil until they are golden brown.
Makes: 8 cakes
You will need:
* 1 large zucchni grated, excess water removed (Note: To do this, after you grate the zucchini, put the grated zucchini into paper towels and squeeze to release the water) * 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese * 1 cup panko bread crumbs * sprinkle of ground nutmeg, about 1/8 teaspoon (Note: If you add too much it can quickly take over the taste, less is more) * 1/4 teaspoon paprika * 1 clove garlic, minced * 1 egg * salt and pepper to taste * 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1. Combine all ingredients, except olive oil, in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Using a heaping tablespoon form the mixture into 8 patties. 2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once heated, add patties and cook until golden brown. About 3-4 minutes per side. Serve.
These are great when served with a dollop of ranch dressing. Enjoy!”
