Description

These vegetarian zucchini cakes will fool the crab cake lovers in your family. They're easy, inexpensive, and make a great side dish.

Ingredients

3 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 large egg
2 green onions, thinly sliced
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
1 ½ teaspoons seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon butter

Directions

1. Place grated zucchini in a colander; sprinkle with salt and let stand 30 minutes. Press with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible; zucchini should be fairly dry and reduced to about 2 cups.
2. Mix egg, zucchini, bread crumbs, green onions, bell pepper, seafood seasoning, mustard, mayonnaise, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Form into 8 patties, 3 to 4 inches across.
3. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
