Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
Pinch of cayenne
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 pounds zucchini, sliced
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Grated pecorino cheese
Crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch in a wide frying pan and heat to 375 degrees.
  • Put flour in a pie plate, season generously with salt and pepper and add a pinch of cayenne. Combine lightly beaten egg and milk. Working in batches, dip zucchini slices lightly in seasoned flour, then in egg mixture, then once more in flour. Carefully slip them into hot oil, without crowding. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels, then transfer to a warm platter. Salt lightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix together parsley, garlic and lemon zest. Sprinkle a little of the mixture over fried zucchini, then sprinkle lightly with grated cheese and red pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
