Italian Zucchini Pancakes

Published on July 10, 2015 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s that time of year again: the part of the summer where zucchini is plentiful, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.  Zucchini is one that that never seems to be lacking at our CSA or the farmer’s market.  Which, for the most part, is fine with me.  I’m definitely a fan of zucchini and I appreciate that it’s a very versatile vegetable.  Still, it’s easy to fall into the habit of simply roasting them in the oven and not trying very hard.  This week, I put our share of zucchini from the farm to work in a slightly different and very delicious manner.

These zucchini pancakes started with the standard vegetable pancake recipe in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.  In an effort to do something different – and make use of some of the ingredients I had on hand – I added cheese, Italian seasoning and tomato sauce to make the pancakes more flavorful and substantial.  They were delicious and I’ll definitely be making them again this summer as part of using up the zucchini bounty.

Print Recipe
Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb zucchini grated (I used my food processor)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • 1 and ½ cup white or white whole wheat flour
  • ¼ - ½ cup milk
  • Olive oil
  • 1 cup tomato sauce of your choosing

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combined the grated zucchini, shredded mozzarella, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and flour. Stir to combine evenly. Add the milk, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more as necessary, stirring until a batter that holds together is formed.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering and hot.
  • Drop large spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil. Use the spoon to gently spread out and flatten the pancake.
  • Cook for 3 - 5 minutes per side, or until both sides are browned and the pancake is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan until heated through.
  • Serve immediately or keep warm in a 275 degree oven until all the pancakes are done. Serve the warm tomato sauce alongside or on top of the pancakes.

UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.

I can't remember the last time I baked bread, some I can't remember the last time I baked bread, something that was part of my routine for a long time. Today school was cancelled due to the extremely cold temperatures outside and I took the opportunity to make 8 loaves - most of which will be put into the freezer until they're needed. Baking more bread was part of my 2022 theme of "resume" and I'm so happy to be back to it.
Recipe, as usual, from @breadin5
