Zucchini may not be the most loved vegetable, but when shallow-fried into patties, even kids will go crazy for them.
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Mix zucchini, onion, and 1 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then wring out as much liquid as possible from zucchini and onion in a kitchen towel. Mix with leek, egg, panko, cilantro, and thyme in a clean medium bowl; season with pepper.
Step 2
Pour oil into a large skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/2" and heat over medium heat until oil bubbles when a pinch of zucchini mixture is added.
Step 3
Working in batches, drop spoonfuls of zucchini mixture into skillet and gently flatten with a spatula into 2" patties. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; season with salt. Serve with Roasted Red Pepper Labneh.
Step 4
Do ahead: Patties can be made 30 minutes ahead. Keep warm in a 300 ° oven until ready to serve.
