Ingredients

  • 3 cups coarsely grated zucchini
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 1/2 Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or plain yogurt
  • 1/3 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tsp butter

Directions

  1. Place grated zucchini in a colander. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Press with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible. Zucchini should be fairly dry and you should have about 2 cups. Place zucchini and remaining ingredients (except oil and butter) in a bowl. Mix well. Form into 8 patties the size of crab cakes. Chill.

  2. Heat oil and butter in a skillet.

  3. Add patties to skillet and cook on both sides until browned. Drain on paper towels.
