Recipe idea for your 'Easy Pick' green F1 zucchini harvest. Prepare zucchini or tender pattypan squash fritters. Grate the flesh, salt it lightly, and let it drain in a colander. Then, squeeze the strands in a clean cloth to remove some of the water. Mix with an egg, a little flour, minced green onion, and grated cheese. Place small portions into a hot, lightly oiled pan, then flatten them with a spatula. Flip the fritters when the bottom is golden brown and continue cooking until the center is set. Serve them with a yogurt and lemon sauce, accompanied by a tomato salad. The size of the pieces influences cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before taking the dish off the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a bit more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
