The zucchini season has already begun, which means that you need to make the most of the vegetable and prepare a variety of delicious dishes from it. I propose a recipe for summer pancakes from zucchini and duck meat. It does not require any special culinary skills, it takes a minimum of time and labor. At the same time, the dish turns out to be tasty and tender. Surely many have prepared and tried the popular Belarusian potato pancakes. But not everyone knows that they can be prepared from other products, such as zucchini with meat. The taste and texture of these vegetable fritters is much more tender than potato pancakes. This is a healthy breakfast that will fill you well for the whole working day, cheer you up and energize.
Instead of zucchini, you can use zucchini, the color and taste of the pancakes will remain the same expressive and bright. And if you want to make the pancakes more satisfying and dense, you can add a little flour or semolina. But then use the minimum amount of flour so that you get vegetable pancakes, and not flour pancakes interspersed with meat and vegetables. For cooking, choose young zucchini, they have no rough skin and practically no seeds. If you are using overgrown ripe fruits, remove the seeds and peel the skin. The dish turns out to be low-calorie, thanks to which it is easily absorbed by the body and can be used for baby and diet food. You can serve potato pancakes as an independent dish or as a side dish for potatoes, pasta or rice.
