Zucchini Latkes

Wow, these were a major hit with 3 of the 4 humans in the house.  And two of them don't even normally eat zucchini!  No picture because they disappeared as soon as they were cool enough to handle!  They are a bit of work, but totally worth it!  I bet you could also add a variety of spices and/or fry them in coconut oil for variety, but they were so good straight up like this, I probably won't mess with them much, at least if they are mainly for Akasha.

Zucchini "Latkes"

Whatcha Need

2 1/4 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 ts salt, divided
1 egg, beaten
1/2 small onion, chopped fine or grated
2 TB hazelnut flour
pepper to taste
Ghee for frying

Whatcha Do

In a large bowl, sprinkle the zucchini with half the salt and toss it to mix.  Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then squeeze all the moisture out of the zucchini.  This step is kindof a pain, but really important.  Stir in the eggs, onion, nut flour, pepper and other half of salt.  Melt the ghee over medium heat in a frying pan.  I used a tablespoon to drop the batter, but you might be able to make them bigger if you are really careful flipping them.  Flatten them out and fry them on both sides until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels and get ready to inhale them!
