• Make the herb sour cream: Whisk the sour cream, chives and dill in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Make the zucchini cakes: Mix the zucchini, breadcrumbs, parmesan, basil, oregano, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, then stir the egg mixture into the zucchini mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Working in batches, form patties with the zucchini batter (about 1/4 cup for each) and add to the skillet. Pan-fry the cakes until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Serve while hot and crisp with the herb sour cream.

ZUCCHINI CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.

ZUCCHINI 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.

SAVORY BAKED ZUCCHINI CAKES

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.

• 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.
