1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Chop the zucchini into small pieces. Place in food processor and pulse until there are small bits left. (If you have a grating attachment on your food processor you can use that instead).
  2. In a medium bowl add zucchini, lemon juice, parsley, flour, eggs, spices, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix together until evenly distributed.
  3. Place olive oil in a large frying pan and heat over medium high heat. Working in batches, add a little less than a cup of batter to the frying pan for each fritter. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 45 seconds. Flip over and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  4. Place a few layers of paper towel on a baking sheet or plate. Once fritters are done, transfer to the lined baking sheet or dish and let the paper towel soak up extra oil.
  5. Garnish with more lemon juice and a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
