Zucchini Patties

INGREDIENTS (Serves: 5 patties)

2 cups grated zucchini well-drained
1 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
¼ cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup flour
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
¼ tsp. Oregano
¼ tsp. Salt
1-2 dashes black pepper
1-2 Tbsp. olive oil

STEPS

1. In a medium bowl mix together all ingredients except for the olive oil;
2. In a medium to large frying pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil;
3. Drop a heaping large spoonful of the mixture, cook until browned on both sides;
4. Drain on a paper towel lined plate for a couple of seconds then serve immediately.

TIPS

1. Avoid leaving the zucchini too long after mixing with salt. Zucchini contains a lot of water, and adding salt to it will force the water out from the zucchini, resulting in a watery mixture before cooking.

WELLNESS TIPS

1. Zucchini has multiple health benefits. Its high vitamin A content protects eyes and aid with vision.
2. Zucchini pasta, a popular substitute for regular grain-based pasta, help control carbohydrate intake and thus control blood glucose.
3. It also help with lowering “bad” cholesterol.
4. Other than vitamin A zucchini is also high in vitamin B, manganese, magnesium, and potassium
