SAVORY BAKED ZUCCHINI CAKES
This is based--very loosely!--on the tomato-zucchini fritter recipe from the Veganomicon cookbook. You can probably make it without a food processor, but it will definitely be easier to grate everything with one. You can either fry these cakes or bake them; fried will result in an oilier texture, but a crisper crust. An egg could probably be added to make the cakes firmer, if you like a firmer cake. This recipe would also benefit from fresh herbs; just remember you need more fresh herbs to get the same flavor punch. You could prepare the cakes through the roll-in-bread crumbs stage a day ahead, and refrigerate them until you're ready to cook, if need be. They'd be delicious served with a green-olive tapenade.

Steps:
- Grate the zucchini, toss with salt (1-2 shakes) and let sit in a colander while you prep the other ingredients.
- Grate the onions. Let the onion juice drain away.
- Process the garlic and walnuts until very finely chopped.
- Press as much liquid from the onions and zucchini as possible, then combine with the garlic, walnuts, herbs, and cheese in a medium-sized bowl.
- IF BAKING: preheat oven to 350°F Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Shape zucchini mixture into smallish balls (about two tbsp each, or about 2 inches across when slightly flattened) and roll in bread crumbs and flatten slightly. If baking, you can arrange them on the baking sheet; if frying, arrange them on a plate but be sure to leave space between the cakes so they don't stick together.
- To fry: heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When a drop of water sizzles, add the cakes and fry over medium heat until the outside is crispy and brown (about 5-7 minutes per side). Be gentle in flipping the cakes.
- To bake: space on lightly oiled pan, and bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes, flipping about halfway through the baking. (This method won't get them as crispy around the edges, but if you're already baking something and/or you want a lower-fat option, the result is just as tasty.) Again, be gentle in flipping the cakes.

Steps:
- Grate 2 zucchini and reserve 2 whole for another use. Put the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze well to remove the excess water.
- In a large bowl combine the zucchini, baking mix, onion, eggs and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well to thoroughly combine.
- Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure drop about 6 to 8 portions of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper lined sheet pan.
- In a small bowl mix together the sour cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the zucchini cakes on a serving platter and serve with the sour cream.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry knife or fork until the mixture is well blended.
GREEK ZUCCHINI CAKES
Steps:
- Combine the grated zucchini and kosher salt. Set aside for 5 minutes (no more, or it will be mush). Rinse in cold water and squeeze dry in a kitchen towel or press in a strainer or colander until dry.
- Combine the cheese, egg, green onions, flour, pine nuts, dill, oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl; fold in the zucchini. Form into 24 small cakes (about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each) and saute in olive oil, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI CAKES
These savory patties, from Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough's book "Real Food Has Curves: How to Get Off Processed Food, Lose Weight and Love What You Eat," are delicious on their own or with a little mustard slathered on the side. They are also a great leftover, re-crisped in the oven and served for breakfast or in pita pockets for lunch.

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the zucchini, then shred them into a colander, using the large holes of a box grater. (You'll need about 4 cups shredded zucchini.)
- Sprinkle the zucchini shreds with salt, toss well and set in the sink for 15 minutes to drain.
- Rinse the zucchini shreds under cool water in the colander. Then pick up handfuls and squeeze them over the sink to get rid of almost all of the moisture. Set the shreds in a large bowl.
- Grate the onion into the bowl using the large holes of the box grater.
- Stir in the ricotta, whole-wheat flour, egg, paprika, dill and pepper, just until the mixture is uniform and there are no streaks of dry flour anywhere.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the oil, then use a 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop up the zucchini mixture and plop it into the skillet, scraping out any mixture left in the cup. Flatten the mixture into a thick cake with the bottom of the cup and continue making more.
- Cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes, then turn them with a large spatula and continue cooking until lightly browned on the other side and a little firm to the touch, about 4 more minutes. If you can't fit all six into your skillet, you'll need a little more oil for the second batch.

ZUCCHINI CAKE
Mom had a horrible time getting us kids to eat zucchini. This was one of the few recipes containing zucchini that we all enjoyed. It's also a good idea for those people who have an overabundance of zucchini from their gardens each year. Just mix, bake and throw on some icing!

- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Trim ends off zucchini and grate into a large mixing bowl using the largest holes of a cheese grater. When you’ve finished grating the zucchini, grate the onion into the same bowl. Toss the grated zucchini and onion with ½ tsp salt and set aside for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer zucchini and onion mixture to a strainer and press it firmly against the sides of the strainer to extract as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. You could also wrap the zucchini up in a clean dishtowel and wring out the water. (Either way, you should try to remove as much liquid as possible to avoid soggy patties.)
- Move the zucchini back to the mixing bowl. (You should only be left with about 2 cups of zucchini at this point.) Stir in all remaining ingredients until completely combined.
- Scoop out about ¼ cup of the batter and drop onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the patties and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and sprinkle with a little additional salt if necessary and serve immediately so they stay nice and crispy. Enjoy!
