Edible parts

Fruits

Recipe idea for your 'Ishtar' 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, chopped 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 lemon-yogurt sauce, accompanied by a tomato salad. The size of the pieces influences the cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the dish from 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.
