Zucchini relish is wonderful If you are interested I can post

the
recipe.


Yes please Wendy.

I'm posting one as well for zucchini choux fritters they are unreal

1 cup of water,
90 g butter,
1/2 teaspoon of salt,
1 tablespoon of sugar,
1/2 cup of plain flour,
4 X 55 g eggs,
500 g zucchini grated coarsely,
6 mint leaves shredded,
2 spring onions finely chopped,
vegetable oil for frying.

1. Place the water, butter, salt and sugar into a small saucepan and bring
slowly to the boil. Sift the flour onto a piece of kitchen paper and tip
the flour all at once into the boiling liquid. Beat vigorously over a low
heat with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are combined and the
batter is shiny.

2. Remove from the heat and turn the mixture into a bowl, spreading it
around the bowl to help it cool. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition. Squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini and
stir into the flour mixture with mint and spring onions.

3. Heat about 2 cm of vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat. Add
tablespoons of mixture to the oil and cook in batches for 3 mins on each
side or until golden and puffed. Drain on paper towels and serve
immediately.

I usually serve these with dipping sauces and salad they are super Yummo

Zucchini Relish

10 cups chopped zucchini,
4 cups chopped onions,
2 cups chopped red and green capsicum,
Sprinkle with 5 tablespoons of salt and let sit overnight. Drain and rinse
well.

Brine

2 1/4 cups of vinegar,
5 cups of sugar,
1 tablespoon tumeric,
2 tablespoons cornflour,
1 tablespoon of celery seed,
2 tablespoons of mustard seeds.

Bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes stirring often.

Add vegies and cook on a slow heat for 30 minutes.

Then bottle as you would any chutney/relish.

This in my opinion, is far yummier than corn relish.

Enjoy,

Aus Wendy
