If your garden is overflowing with zucchini this time of year, make these incredible pancakes to use it up. We squeeze the zucchini well before using to remove excess moisture. —Terry Ann Dominguez, Silver City, New Mexico

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Marinara sauce, warmed, optional

Directions

  1. Place zucchini in a colander to drain; squeeze well to remove excess liquid. Pat dry.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano until blended. Stir in flour just until moistened. Fold in zucchini and onion.
  3. Lightly grease a griddle with butter; heat over medium heat. Drop zucchini mixture by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle; flatten to 1/2-in. thickness (3-in. diameter). Cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes on each side. If desired, serve with marinara sauce.
