Zucchini Fritters with Vegan Sour Cream

April 15, 2014 23 Comments

Zucchini-Cakes

The other day I was trying to come up with a way to use a large zucchini that had been in my fridge for a few days and was not going to last much longer. It was lunch time, and I was aching for food.

I didn’t feel like making a sweet treat with it, I didn’t feel like a vegetable soup or stir fry or pizza. I wanted the zucchini to be the star of the show.

So, I made zucchini fritters for lunch! And they were awesome.

I topped the zucchini fritters with some of my vegan sour cream that I’d made the day before, and it was delicious!

Zucchini Fritters with Vegan Sour Cream
Recipe Type: Appetizer
Author: Vegan Insanity
Prep time: 1 hour 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 1 hour 20 mins
Serves: 2
These zucchini fritters make the perfect appetizer, and also work great for lunch or dinner (especially when paired with a salad!).
Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini, grated
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup kamut flour (or all-purpose)
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle some salt over your grated zucchini, allow to sit for about an hour to remove some water.
  2. Put the zucchini in a large, clean dish towel, and squeeze out any excess water. Put zucchini in a large bowl.
  3. Add in the minced garlic, flour, coriander, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Form into balls and press gently to flatten.
  5. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook until golden (about 5 minutes), then flip and cook for another few minutes, or until that side has also browned lightly.
  6. Serve, with a dollop of vegan sour cream on top (or on the side).
Notes
[b]To make sour cream:[/b] To your blender, add the following ingredients and blend until smooth: 1/2 cup cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours and drained), 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/3-1/2 cup of water (as needed).
