Lime Zucchini

I bought these really pretty yellow Zucchinis at the farm stand the other day and they just sat for days until i though of away to prepare them. I liked fried zucchini but they always lack a freshness. So it took a few days until i thought about doing them up this way.

Lime Zucchini

Ingredients
2 Yellow Zucchini, sliced about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick, skins left on
3 limes, zest and juiced
1 egg
4 table spoons olive oil mayo
1 table spoon green Tabasco
1 cup unbleached flour
3 table spoons ground cumin
2 table spoons Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Veggie oil

Directions
Place sliced zucchini in a bowl with the lime juice, zest and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Let sit for hour, tossing every 10 minutes or so.
In a a bowl mixed together dry ingredients.
In another bowl whisk together the egg, mayo and Tabasco.
In a deep skillet fill with oil to about one inch, over medium high heat.
Next dredge the zucchini in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture and fry until golden on each side. Place on a paper towel to cool.

Serve with a nice salsa or a sour pepper mayo.

Enjoy Cooking
