Zucchini pancakes with semolina

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make zucchini pancakes with semolina? Prepare the products according to the list. It is preferable to take zucchini young, with tender skin and seeds. If your zucchini is old, peel and remove skins and seeds. And weigh them already peeled. Use any vegetable oil, but refined. Wash and dry the young zucchini and eggs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the ends off the zucchini. Grate the zucchini (young ones - straight with the peel). If they are young, grate them on a coarse grater; if they are old, it is better to use a fine grater.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add salt to the grated zucchini, stir and leave for 20 minutes so that the zucchini releases juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   Squeeze the zucchini mass with your hands and drain off excess moisture.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add raw egg and semolina to the zucchini.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix the zucchini mixture well. Leave it for 10 minutes so that the semolina swells and absorbs excess moisture.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat the frying pan. Pour some vegetable oil on it. Spoon out the zucchini dough by the tablespoon in small portions, carefully forming pancakes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry the pancakes over low heat until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot with sour cream. Bon appetit!

I always add flour to zucchini pancakes. I'll have to try it with semolina.

I really love zucchini pancakes, but I need to diversify them somehow) I haven’t made them with semolina yet, so I decided to try it. It's just a delight! The pancakes turned out fluffy, soft, tender, and had a crispy crust on top, which is typical for semolina. These zucchini pancakes are even more like cutlets, because... They hold their shape perfectly and are voluminous at the same time. And the zucchini itself is not felt at all. I added a little garlic more for flavor than for heat. Thanks for the interesting recipe!
