August, the Gifting Month, What’s On Your Doorstep?

When life grants you zucchini, make a fritter!

 

 

August is the gifting month across the U.S.A.  Backyard gardens and patio pots spill over with cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, grape tomatoes,  cucumbers and red and green peppers.

 

And notice, I haven’t mentioned  zucchini squash because I think if I only whisper about a super delicious zucchini squash recipe that I like to make, numerous large zucchini will appear on my porch with a polite note saying, “I hear by the grapevine that you like zucchini – enjoy.”

It has happened, and will happen again because zucchini vines are producing with abandon  this summer.

Zucchini Squash Fritters

Easy- to- make and mellow to the taste, zucchini squash fritters bring a delightful upswing to dinners and backyard entertaining. Serve them singly with their creamy, bright sauce and sliced tomatoes for a light evening meal or shove the potato to the side and serve a zucchini fritter in its place to accompany chicken on the grill, a pork chop, rib eye steak. All good.

  • In a saute' pan, heat 2 Tb. olive oil until it sizzles when a small amount of zucchini mixture is dropped in

Zucchini Fritter Sauce

  • Blend sour cream, Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard and salt
  • Drop a dollop of sauce on each fritter, or spoon the sauce into a serving bowl and sauce to taste.

A pancake without syrup is like a fritter with no sauce!  Too plain, too simple and boring!

Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard sauce adds a crisp, fresh taste that compliments the zucchini fritter.
