I’ve been concentrating on all of the wonderful summer fruits out right now, and I have been neglecting the veggies! One of my absolute favorites is zucchini! You can do so much with zucchini and it is wonderful low calorie vegetable that packs a punch of both protein and fiber! Here is a great recipe to disguise the vegetable, along with another great summer veggie – corn, that even your kids will enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup grated fresh zucchini
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn (thawed)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 egg
1 cup Bisquick
1/4 cup milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
toppings – sour cream and fresh cut tomatoes
First, grate the zucchini.
Next, in a large bowl combine the zucchini, corn, onion, egg, Bisquick, milk, salt and pepper. Mix up well.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat with a little olive oil in the bottom. Once it has been heated, pour the mixture into pancake sized portions. Allow to brown on both sides.
Once the cakes have thoroughly cooked, serve with a portion of sour cream and diced tomatoes to bring out the zucchini and corn flavors! This makes an excellent side with some roast chicken or a great vegetarian lunch or dinner!
Any uneaten cakes can be stored in resealable plastic bags and popped in the freezer to be reheated for another meal!
