Servings: persons

1 lb yellow zucchini (use small ones)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (for soaking zucchini)
2 quarts water (for soaking zucchini)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 fresh garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
1/8 teaspoon table salt
1/8 teaspoon black peppercorns, freshly milled
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, unbleached
1/2 cup olive oil
8 lemon wedges (garnish)

1
Shred the zucchini squash on a box shredder (large side) or with a mandolin.
2
In a medium bowl, mix the salt and water and allow the shredded zucchini to soak in the refrigerator for up to 45 minutes.
3
In another medium bowl, mix the chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Drain, rinse, (cold tap water) and redrain the zucchini -- pat it dry with paper towels and add to the parsley mixture.
4
Season the mixture with the table salt and pepper, then add in the beaten eggs and carefully stir in the flour to make a batter.
5
In a medium-sized no-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, bring the olive oil up to temperature until you see some rippling. Then spoon in heaping tablespoons of the zucchini batter. Make about three per batch -- each one, after being mashed down a bit with a spatula should be about three inches across. Cook for about one minute per side (until golden brown) before turning.
6
Place finished patties on paper towels to drain while finishing the remaining patties.
7
Serve with lemon wedges as garnish, on the side.
