Zucchini Cakes - Latkes

Practically every culture has some form of it. Latkes are traditionally made with graded potatoes and are meant to be eaten hot. I was looking for an alternative to take along on the road for my son that's taste good cold. I like zucchinis and decided to try ecxact same recipe using it-I love the result and it became our all favorite now.
Take 6-7 small zucchinis and grade it on a large side of the box grader in a big bowl. DO NOT SQUEEZE the liquid out. Add 3 organic eggs, and 3 table spoons of regular flour, salt and mix it well. Let stand for 15 minutes allowing mixture to come together and settle. It will look a little watery.


Take a large saute pan and preheat it on high. Add 2 table spoons of olive oil and once it is hot start putting cakes out using big table spoon. Shallow fry it on each side till dark crust forms for a few minutes and then flip and fry on the other side for additional minutes or so.


Let it cool and serve with a dollop of organic sour cream. Enjoy!
