I've gone very simple this week - Zucchini Fritters. But I am thinking about storing some for winter now by freezing some grated zukes. But I think there will be zucchini for a little while yet, my two plants seem to be far from giving up.
I love fritters of any sort, corm, zucchini. I do a delicious fritter of zucchini with loads of dill. I love it and never have enough home gown dill to make it so I need to buy it in. Shame cause home grown dill is a wonderful substance.
Perhaps I should have waited before ripping mine out - that does sound good. Oh well - I can always book mark for next year I guess. Based on the passage above, Can you provide a recipe for the zucchini fritters you mentioned?

Sure, here is a simple recipe for zucchini fritters with dill:

Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying

Instructions:
1. Using a grater or food processor, grate the zucchinis and place the grated zucchini in a colander to drain any excess water.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, breadcrumbs, chopped dill, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
4. Using a spoon, scoop the zucchini mixture and drop it into the hot skillet, forming a round patty. Repeat until the skillet is full but not too crowded.
5. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Repeat until all the zucchini mixture is used up.
8. Serve the fritters hot with a dollop of sour cream and some extra chopped dill on top.

Enjoy your delicious zucchini fritters with dill, and feel free to freeze some grated zucchini for later use!

Can you suggest any other recipes that I can try with my abundant zucchini harvest?

Sure, I'd be happy to suggest some other recipes you can try with your zucchini harvest:

1. Zucchini Noodles with Pesto - Spiralize your zucchini into noodles and toss with your favorite pesto for a light and healthy summer meal.

2. Stuffed Zucchini Boats - Cut zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create a hollow "boat." Stuff the boats with cooked rice, ground meat, cheese, or veggies and bake in the oven for a delicious and filling meal.

3. Zucchini Lasagna - Replace lasagna noodles with thin slices of zucchini for a low-carb, gluten-free twist on a classic dish.

4. Zucchini Bread - Grate your zucchini and mix it into a sweet bread batter for a tasty breakfast or snack.

5. Grilled Zucchini - Cut zucchinis into thin slices and grill them until tender and slightly charred. Serve as a side dish or add to salads for some extra flavor.

6. Zucchini Fries - Cut zucchinis into strips, coat in breadcrumbs or panko, and bake in the oven until crispy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

7. Zucchini Soup - Saute onions, garlic, and chopped zucchinis in a pot, add chicken or vegetable broth, and blend until smooth for a healthy and comforting soup.

I hope these ideas inspire you to get creative with your zucchini harvest!

These recipes sound great! Can you remind me again how to freeze grated zucchini? Do I need to do anything special before freezing it?

Yes, of course! Here are the steps to freeze grated zucchini:

1. Wash the zucchini and grate it using a box grater (or a food processor with the grater attachment).
2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
3. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the zucchini. This will help prevent freezer burn and excess moisture when you thaw it later.
4. Transfer the grated zucchini into a freezer-safe container or freezer bag.
5. Label the container or bag with the date and the contents.
6. Seal the container or bag tightly, removing as much air as possible.
7. Place the container or bag in the freezer.

When you're ready to use the frozen zucchini, remove it from the freezer and thaw it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Squeeze out any excess water before using it in your recipe. Frozen zucchini is perfect for baking recipes like zucchini bread or muffins, or adding to soups, stews, or casseroles.
