Ingredients
- 1 zucchini about 1 lb/ 450 g, Notes 1,2
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- vegetable oil or lard for shallow frying, Note 2
- coarse sea salt Note 3
Instructions
- Prepare zucchini: Slice them into 0.2 inch/ ½ cm 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.1 zucchini + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable 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.2 eggs
- 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 floured zucchini: Only salt the zucchini before serving. Serve warm with garlic sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese, and bread. Or cold in sandwiches. coarse sea salt
Notes
- Zucchini: Choose medium-sized zucchini. If they’re too small, the slices will be too tiny; if they’re too large, they’ll be mealy and seedy.
- How many? I had 26 floured zucchini slices, which I cooked in 3 batches in my large pan.
- Pan and oil: Fry the zucchini slices in a non-stick or cast-iron pan, which helps reduce the amount of oil needed. Add more oil between batches if necessary, and place the fried slices on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Salt the zucchini only before serving, as salting them before frying will make them watery.
