Ingredients
2Medium zucchini
1Egg
1 ¼tspSalt
⅛tspBlack pepper
3tbspFlour(heaping)
Oil for frying
¼cupMayonnaise
1bigGarlic clove, minced
1tspWater
1small bunchDill or Parsley (or both)
Instructions
Wash, dry and shred the zucchini into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the egg, salt and pepper. Mix well together and let stand for a minute.
Add the flour and mix everything well. It might be hard to mix at first, but the zucchini will start to give off juice and the amount of flour will be perfect.
Heat a medium-sized skillet on medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
Make sure the oil is hot, then add spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture to the skillet spreading it out evenly in a small circle.
Fry the zucchini patties for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove to a plate.
Meanwhile, mix together the mayo, minced garlic and water to make the mayo garlic sauce.
Slice the tomatoes and finely chop the herbs.
Place tomatoes on the still-warm zucchini patties, spread some garlic mayo sauce on the tomato, and sprinkle with the chop herbs.
