ZUCCHINI CAKES


With our garden full of zucchini this time of year, I'm always on the lookout for a new way to serve it to our family.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.   

Ingredients:
1 large Zucchini finely grated
     (skin washed and unpeeled)
1/2 cup Kraft shredded Italian 5 cheese blend
8 oz. Progresso Panko bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 small sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 egg
a dash of salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 Tbls. olive oil

Directions:
     Using a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, except olive oil, thoroughly. Using the palm of your hand or a large spoon form the mixture into patties.  Place patties on a sheet of wax paper until you are ready to cook them.
     Pour olive oil into a pan and heat to medium high. When olive oil has reached cooking temperature, add patties to oil, and cook until golden brown. Around 3 minutes per side. Serve while hot and enjoy.

Recipe makes approx. 8 - 10, 3" dia. cakes

***Note:  Panko crumbs are very crunchy bread crumbs made from Japanese wheat bread, which is slowly dried and then shredded into crispy, jagged flakes.
