In the last week of summer, I want to share simple yet so delicious zucchini recipes. Zucchini pancakes and pan-fried zucchini are the taste of late summer months and the ultimate comfort home food. My mom frequently cooked zucchini pancakes for a light summer meal, and they remind me of my home in Belarus. Pan-fried zucchini instantly bring me back to my childhood in Crimea. I remember Grandma cooking them in her tiny summer kitchen in the back of the garden. How do I wish I could transfer back in time!
Life has been so busy in the last few months that I barely had the energy to cook anything. I was constantly on the lookout for easy and simple recipes. I also wanted to take advantage of delicious fresh produce from farmers' markets that is so much better than what you can buy in the grocery stores in the cold seasons. So, this summer, my family ate lots of vegetable dishes, including the ones I share in this post.
Zucchini pancakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, and light dinner. They are tender, full of flavor, and just melt in the mouth! Pan-fried zucchini is a very easy meal that can be cooked any time of the day and served as a full meal or an appetizer. You can eat both dishes with any sauce you like, but I highly recommend a homemade garlic dill sauce. It’s so easy to make, and it pairs perfectly with zucchini.
If you have an abundance of zucchini from your garden or are looking for easy family meals, try making these recipes, and don’t forget the garlic dill sauce. I’m sure they will become your favorite! In this post, I provide detailed instructions and photos of each step as well as cooking tips so you can receive the best results!
While I was cooking, Mayson was supervising the process, as always :)
