Zucchini Fritters To Write Home About (or at least on your blog)

Ok, listen up Peep Gang.

I am about to disclose to you loyal readers my very first recipe.

First I must let it be known that about 12 months ago the only thing I had ever cooked was a one pan dinner from a box, and even that I burnt so badly you could have lifted it straight out of the frying pan and played a game of that ultimate, not-really-a-true-sport-no-matter-how-competitive-your-facial-expression, frisbee I see is all the rage these days. Yes, I am the person who one time had to ring her neighbour to find out whether or not water was required to cook carrots... boiled carrots.

So I have come a long way from only eating things that came from a plastic container or I found in the dumpster*, to inventing my own recipes.

Here is one for some zucchini fritters I made this evening that were a bit of a hit:

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup Wholemeal Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
A big ol' Shake of Salt
A big ol' Grind of Pepper
About the same of Cayenne Pepper
4 eggs - beaten
5 (from memory) Zucchinis - grated
1 Brown Onion - Diced
1 Cob of Corn - cooked (Remove the kernels from the cob before adding them... Derrr)
A few mushrooms and however much capsicum you have left in the crisper


METHOD:

First of all you will need to find quite a large bowl.. or casserole dish, or saucepan (for all you uni students out there). Put the flour, eggs, baking powder and seasonings in, and mix until you end up with a doughy looking paste that looks a bit like a moist cookie dough. Please, at this stage, refrain from tasting the mixture because despite it's appearance it is not cookie dough and it literally tastes like raw eggs and flour, salted.
Add to this mix all the chopped vegetables and stir until all is well combined.
Lightly oil a frying pan and place over a medium heat. Drop dollops of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook until browned on one side, flip, and cook the other side until cooked through. Hey presto, you've made yourself some fritters. Nice going.


MAKES:

Shitloads.


SERVE WITH:

Whatever you so desire, aint no one gonna care once they taste these babies.
