Game night - Yay!

So game night turned out to be a pretty big success. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun and get along really well. I definitely want to make it a monthly thing.

In honor of game night - and because people requested it - here is the recipe for the zucchini patties I made last night.

ZUCCHINI PATTIES!

Ingredients:
2 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup chopped shallot
1/2 chopped red bell pepper
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use regular and panko)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon cumin
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Grate the zucchini. Press out as much water as you can. I put it in a colander, salt it, and then press out the water with a dish towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, onion, flour, breadcrumbs, cayenne, cumin, pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and salt. Stir well enough to distribute ingredients evenly.
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Make a ball of the zucchini mixture and pat on extra breadcrumbs (this is where I use the panko) and put it in the oil. Press the patties until they are about 3/4 inch thick, and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden.

To make sure they are cooked through - you can put them on a baking sheet in the oven on 350 for ten minutes.
