A simple recipe for making delicious eggless zucchini pancakes

Zucchini pancakes are an excellent solution for a delicious vegetarian breakfast or Lenten lunch. A wonderful dish with an equally amazing aroma is fried in sunflower oil. Served with rustic sour cream, fresh crispy bread and tomatoes.

We will need:

• Zucchini – 400 gr.
• Wheat flour – 3 tablespoons
• Onion – 1 small head
• Garlic – 1 clove
• Sunflower oil – 25 ml.
• Dry spices - to taste
• Dill - to taste
• Salt - to taste

Preparation:

1. For pancakes, you should take small, young zucchini with thin skin, which is not at all necessary to peel
2. Wash the vegetable thoroughly under running water. Cut off the edges and grate the vegetable on a fine grater.
3. Place the resulting vegetable pulp into a bowl and season with salt. Mix well so that the salt is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Set aside and wait for the juice to release.
4. After 15-20 minutes, thoroughly squeeze out the released moisture. Try to get rid of excess liquid. Since if there is a lot of it, the mass will take in a lot of flour and these will not be zucchini pancakes at all
5. Peel the garlic and onions and rinse under running water. Pass the garlic through a press. Chop the onion in any convenient way, the main thing is that it is as fine as possible. You can grind it on a grater, beat it with a blender until it turns into a paste, or finely chop it with a sharp knife.
6. Add onion and garlic to the zucchini, add dry spices and salt to taste. Don’t forget that we’ve already lightly seasoned the zucchini.
7. Rinse the dill, blot off excess moisture and chop finely. Add to the dough, mix well
8. The flour must be sifted so that it is saturated with oxygen. Add a little at a time, mixing well each time. As a result, you should get a thick consistency.
9. Pour sunflower oil into a frying pan, place on medium heat and heat through
10. Spoon the pancakes into the oil and fry on both sides until golden brown.
11. Place the finished pancakes on a napkin to absorb excess oil. Serve with your favorite drink, bon appetit!

How to cook “Zucchini pancakes with cottage cheese”

Prepare ingredients for pancakes. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork so that there are no large lumps. Wash the zucchini and cut off the tail. Peel the garlic.

Grate the zucchini on a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Add cottage cheese, egg, dill, salt, pepper and flour to the zucchini. Mix everything thoroughly.

The consistency should be moderately thick, do not add flour all at once, add a couple of spoons and mix. Look. If the dough is liquid, add a couple more spoons. Don't make it too steep, the pancakes will be tough.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, lay out the pancakes and form a circle or oval. After about a minute, use a spatula to turn the pancakes over and fry on the other side until nicely golden brown.
