Zucchini Fritters With Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, onion, eggs, Romano cheese, milk, and flour. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon of shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the skillet, and flatten slightly with the back of a spatula. Turn fritters over when the center appears dry. Cook on the other side until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm. Add more shortening to skillet as needed, and continue with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Directions: To prepare the fritters, heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350°F. Line a rack with two layers of paper towels. Place the onion, zucchini, and yellow squash in a mesh colander and press down to squeeze out most of the liquid. Combine the flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl and set it aside. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they're smooth, then add the cold beer and gently stir them together. Pour this mixture into the dry-ingredient mixture and stir until they're combined. Add the zucchini and onion and stir them to combine. Drop the zucchini batter into the hot oil by tablespoons. Fry them until they're golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the paper towel-lined rack. Serve them immediately. To prepare the sauce, toss the garlic cloves with the olive oil. Wrap the garlic cloves together in foil and bake them until they're tender, about 20 - 30 minutes. Let them cool until they're warm. Place the garlic into a food processor and purée it with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper, and salt. Transfer the aioli to a bowl and stir in the chives.

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl with a wire whisk until smooth. Stir in the shredded and diced zucchini, then season with salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and basil. Add the flour a little at a time, stirring between additions until no dry lumps remain.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drop the batter into the hot oil by the spoonful a few at a time making sure not to overcrowd the oil. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
