finally! a recipe!

so here's a quick veggie recipe i made this week in class, my chef handed me a bag of zucchini and a bowl of sliced mushrooms and told me to have fun. so i did.
here's what you'll need.





zucchini pancakes
4-5 zucchinis
1 med. onion
1 c. mushrooms
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1/2 c. flour
salt & pepper to taste.
oil

chop the mushrooms and saute with olive oil until they're reduced by at least 1/2. peel the zucchini and with a cheese grater grate on the largest setting, do the same with about 1/2-3/4 of the onion (depending on how much you like onion) when the mushrooms are cool enough to handle chop finely and combine with zucchini and onion, add egg and milk and mix- add flour a little bit at a time until it has a loose batter consistency. (you want it to be mainly veggies with a the egg, milk and flour acting as a binder) add the salt and pepper to taste. heat a medium pan with vegetable oil so that it'll cover your pancakes by half-- add a small ladle or ice cream scoop of batter into the oil and turn once golden brown (if you find that they're too runny to flip add more flour for the next batch) when golden brown on the opposite site remove from pan. ONLY FLIP PANCAKES ONCE--IF YOU FLIP MORE THAN ONCE IT WILL START TO ABSORB THE OIL. they will still be a little soft and almost liquidy in the middle that's okay.

you can add other veggies to this-- shredded carrots, chopped spinach or broccoli.

after making this i realized it was something my great grandmother would make when i was growing up.. guess i just kinda retained it. anyways.. it came really good..and my one friend has been bugging me for veg. recipes since i left for school.
