Cuisine American, Italian
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini squash, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 medium-sized white onion, sliced
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1½ teaspoons Italian herbs
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 teaspoon Red pepper flake, optional
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

  • Cut squash, peppers, and onion into similar sized pieces. Different shapes will make your dish more interesting. Cut garlic into thin slices
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. When oil is shimmering add squash, peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir to coat all vegetables with oil.
  • Add Italian spice. Lightly season pan with salt.
  • Stir vegetable to cook evenly about 15 minutes or until tender.
  • When vegetables are tender, remove pan from heat and add spinach. Toss to mix. The heat from the vegetable will wilt the spinach.

Notes

Cook the vegetables to your families liking. I prefer a little crunch on my veggies so I cook them for a shorter amount of time.
Red pepper flake and Parmesan cheese make a nice addition.

As a side dish or an appetizer, the squash fritter is the chameleon of international cuisine. Served with marinara they are Italian, tzatziki sauce creates a Mediterranean dish, and for a taste of Morocco try them with harisa. Top the fritters with a curry sauce for a trip to India or spicy salsa for a south of the border treat. A dollop of aioli makes these golden pancakes a true Southern treat. One of my personal favorites is ajvare, an eastern European spicy eggplant and pepper sauce. So what ever direction you want your meal to take, this fritter will certainly help you get there.

Squash Fritters

A delicious vegetable pancake made with fresh squash.
Course Appetizer, Main Course
Cuisine Indian, Southern
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 - 3 small green or yellow squash shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ flour
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 - 2 green onions sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Shred the squash into a large bowl. Add salt and mix well. (The salt will help to remove the water out of the squash). Place squash in a mesh strainer and allow to drain for a half an hour.
  • Using a ricer squeeze all the remaining liquid out of the squash and return to mixing bowl, it is important to get as much moisture out of the squash as possible (you can also use the back of a spoon against the mesh strainer to remove liquid).
  • Add flour, egg, and green onion. Mix into a batter.
  • Heat about ¾″ of vegetable oil in a skillet until shimmering.
  • Start by making one test fritter to check oil temperature.
  • Place about a tablespoon of the batter carefully into the oil.
  • Cook in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until a golden color begins to appear around the edges.
  • Turn very carefully to avoid splattering the oil and cook for a few more minutes.
  • When golden brown, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a cooling rack over paper towels or newspaper to drain.

Serve
