Edible parts
Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Green Machine' 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. Drop small portions into a hot, lightly oiled pan, then flatten them with a spatula. Flip the fritters once the underside is golden brown and continue cooking until the center is set. Serve with a yogurt and lemon 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.
