Instructions:

Mock Crab Cakes

2 cups zucchini, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
3 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
Vegetable oil
Tartar sauce (optional)

Drain grated zucchini well, pressing between layers of paper towels.

Combine zucchini and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 8 portions, shaping each into a patty. (Mixture will be soft.)

Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a large heavy skillet. Fry patties in hot oil over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels; serve with tartar sauce, if desired.

Yield: 8 servings.
