Zucchinideller

Ok, so it all started when I made the Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread and discovered that zucchini can be an exciting vegetable. Who knew! I always thought they were dull and not worthy of my attention 🙂 Now I understand why people get so excited when they tell me that they planted zucchini in their garden or that they found the most gorgeous zucchini at the grocery store. It turns out that zucchini is quite the vegetable!

So now that I am on this zucchini kick here is a wonderful little recipe for some Zucchinideller. I should probably explain the word Zucchinideller. They are like the Danish meat patties called Frikadeller except there is no meat involved here, only delicious zucchini.

Zucchinideller (makes 6 patties)

Ingredients:

1 large zucchini, grated and drained

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 small bundle chives, chopped

4 tablespoons old-fashioned oats

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 medium fresh basil leaves, chopped

1/2 egg, lightly beaten

Directions:

Rinse and dry zucchini. Leaving the peel on, grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess liquid. Place zucchini in a bowl, add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Spray pan with cooking spray and bring to medium-high heat. Drop tablespoons of zucchini onto hot pan and brown both sides of patties. Serve warm and enjoy!

Those sound delicious! I love how zucchini is so adaptable to a variety of preparations, don’t you?

  I do, and I am really just now getting to experiment with them. I never paid them any attention up until now. 🙂

I knew exactly what this would be as soon as I saw the name 🙂 I’m looking forward to trying these!

They are really good – and when first you have a thriving zucchine plant in your garden, you need all the good ideas you can get. They turn from fingersmall to huge aliens in a split second 😀

  I’m gonna have to try my hand at zucchini plants one of these days 🙂

    I sow the seeds in small pots in late april and plant them in the garden mid to late May when there is no more risk of frost – they don’t like that. Maybe you can plant them sooner – you are after all a bit further south 🙂
