Ingredients
- 2 courgettes moyennes
- 1 petit oignon, émincé
- 100 g de farine
- 2 œufs
- 1/2 cc de sel
- 1/4 cc de poivre noir
- 2 cs d'huile d'olive
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis using a coarse grater and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Twist the towel to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, chopped onion, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined but be careful not to overmix; a few visible chunks of zucchini are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, spoon about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, forming a pancake. Repeat this process for multiple pancakes, cooking them in batches.
- Cook each pancake for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with a yogurt sauce or enjoy them plain. To reheat leftovers, place them in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side to maintain crispiness.
