Zucchini Fritters

My husband and I have mistakenly planted way too many zucchini plants this year in our garden. We love them and try to come up with as many ways of preparing them. Unfortunately we still have way to many for two people to consume. I'm giving them away like candy at work right now. I experimented last night and came up with this zucchini fritter recipe.

• Zucchini Fritters

1 zucchini squash grated

2 large eggs

1 cup self rising corn meal

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

pinch of nutmeg

Canola or peanut oil

Grate your zucchini and allow to drain in a colander to remove excess water. Beat eggs, corn meal, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then add drained zucchini. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Drop a small amount of mixture in oil to test temperature. If it immediately sizzles and begins to brown it is ready. Drop tablespoon sized dollops of batter into oil, flatten slightly. Fry on one side two minutes, flip fry an additional two minutes or until browned and cooked through. Serve with warm marinara sauce. Enjoy.
