Zucchini Fritters With Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce Recipe 45

Steps:

• Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
• Put zucchini in the middle of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture from zucchini as possible.
• Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Scoop batter by the tablespoon into the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Directions: To prepare the fritters, heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350°F. Line a rack with two layers of paper towels. Place the onion, zucchini, and yellow squash in a mesh colander and press down to squeeze out most of the liquid. Combine the flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl and set it aside. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they're smooth, then add the cold beer and gently stir them together. Pour this mixture into the dry-ingredient mixture and stir until they're combined. Add the zucchini and onion and stir them to combine. Drop the zucchini batter into the hot oil by tablespoons. Fry them until they're golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the paper towel-lined rack. Serve them immediately. To prepare the sauce, toss the garlic cloves with the olive oil. Wrap the garlic cloves together in foil and bake them until they're tender, about 20 - 30 minutes. Let them cool until they're warm. Place the garlic into a food processor and purée it with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper, and salt. Transfer the aioli to a bowl and stir in the chives.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, onion, eggs, Romano cheese, milk, and flour. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon of shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the skillet, and flatten slightly with the back of a spatula. Turn fritters over when the center appears dry. Cook on the other side until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm. Add more shortening to skillet as needed, and continue with remaining batter.
