Poor Mans Crab Cakes (Zucchini Cakes)

I can hardly wait until the time of year that my table is lined with fresh, green garden zucchinis. They are so easy to grow and so abundant! I cook with them just about every day while they are in season and I bake breads and freeze what I can't use up. Here's a classic recipe that gets busted out and used hard each summer here on the homestead.

 Zucchini cakes (or around here they are better known as Poor Mans crab cakes.) 

They are very, very easy to make, cost less than a dollar and take less then 5 minutes! Make sure to tuck this one away in your recipe box...

It's this simple....

2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 tbls. Mayo
1 heaping tsp. old bay seasoning (seafood seasoning for those who don't know what that is)
2 eggs. 

Start by shredding the zucchini with a cheese greater.

Mix all of ingredients together

Form patties and fry in butter until golden brown on both sides

After just a few minutes you will have this divine tasting food ready to eat!

This is especially delicious with my salmon cake sauce.

 For that I use sour cream, mayo and lots of hot sauce with dill and minced onion- all amounts are just added "to taste". It's out of this world good!!

Quick, cheap and easy....That's my kind of summer menu. Try them in a Sandwich to make it the star of the show or have it as an appetizer or side dish. You really can't go wrong with these!
