Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 zucchini (about 450 g/ 1 lb)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • vegetable oil (or lard for shallow frying)
  • coarse sea salt

Instruction

  • Slice the zucchini into ½ cm/ 0.2 inch thick slices. Place the flour on a plate. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Coat the zucchini slices lightly with flour and pat the pieces with your hands to remove the excess flour.
  • Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil or lard in a non-stick or cast iron pan. The oil should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
  • Drag each zucchini slice through the beaten eggs just before placing it in the pan.
  • Fry on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and fry for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. If they turn too dark too soon, turn the heat even lower.
  • Next batch: Remove from the pan and fry the next batch adding more fat if necessary. Place the fried zucchini slices on kitchen paper to help absorb the excess fat.
  • Serve: Only salt the zucchini before serving. Serve warm with garlic sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese, and bread. Or cold in sandwiches.
