Zucchini Fritters
I came across a wonderful site called We Cook Italian, which is where I got this recipe from. I have taken the liberty of adding their recipe to my collection. While not exactly low calorie, as long as you keep the oil hot enough the fritters will not absorb too much oil. These fritters are light and delicious and VERY addictive so make lots! Use a canola or safflower oil for frying. Olive oil is really not suitable. Ingredients 1 1/2 Lbs Zucchini Zest of 1 lemon 2tbs fresh chopped basil salt and pepper For The Batter: 2 Eggs, Separated 2 tbs Olive Oil 1 Cup Regular Beer 1 Cup Flour Salt and Pepper Oil For Frying Directions Grate the zucchini and mix with a tablespoon of salt. Place in a colander in the sink and allow to drain to remove excess liquid for 15 minutes. Rinse the zucchini and then pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl with the lemon zest, fresh basil and pepper. Mix well. For the batter, beat the egg yolks well and then slowly add the olive oil. Next add the beer and flour. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let the mixture rest for 1 hour.
