Zucchini Cakes
Ingredients
3 medium zucchini
¾ teaspoon salt
½ medium onion
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons unbleached white flour
2 eggs
1 cup crumbled feta cheese, optional
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Grate the zucchini into a colander. Place the colander in a bowl, sprinkle the zucchini with salt and let rest for at least 15 minutes, up to one hour.
Squeeze as much liquid out of the grated zucchini as possible by pressing it against the colander. Place grated zucchini in a large bowl.
Add the onion, eggs, oregano, pepper, flour, and feta cheese, if using. Stir until just combined.
Heat a skillet to medium high. Heat the butter or oil in the skillet.
Form heaping spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the small patties and place in the skillet, turning once when the patties are golden brown. Allow to cool until patties are firm.
