Squash Croquettes (or patties)

2 cups yellow squash, finely chopped
1 cup onion, finely diced
1 large egg, beaten
3 teaspoons or so of parsley
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon plain flour
oil for frying

In large bowl, combine squash, onion, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well. Stir in flour.

In a skillet on the stove, heat about 1/2 inch oil or medium high heat. When oil has heated drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil. cook about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown, turning once.
Drain on paper towels.

My tip, add in a little chopped green tomato. Add a bit of paprika to help the browning process.

Fried Garden Goulash

Fried Garden Goulash

(All measures are approximate)
Squash or zucchini (five to seven, medium/small)
Onion (one, small)
Green tomatoes (five or six, medium/small)
Hot peppers (one or two)
Okra (optional)
One or two potatoes
flour, salt & pepper

You dice it all, season, stir, batter lightly with flour
by tossing in a bag (mixture may be a little mushy), then
fry in about 3/4inch of oil on medium high heat, turning
frequently, until much of the mixture is brown and crispy.
It's best to fry it in increments, adding more oil as need-
ed, and taking up on a paper-towel lined dish. It also helps
prevent sogginess to let the tomatoes drain awhile in a col-
lander before mixing with other ingredients.

I love this recipe!
