It is that point of yr once more: Zucchini season is upon us, which implies I am looking out for recipes that make fast work of enormous volumes of zucchini. A stew or salad with a single zucchini? Scrumptious as they could be, these recipes appear awfully quaint now. I need recipes that allow me haul out my meals processor and shred, shred, shred my fears away. I need recipes which might be becoming for lunch and dinner—and ideally recipes that may be doubled and even tripled for a gathering. This recipe is tailored from Ina Garten; it makes six medium pancakes or 12 small pancakes. Although the pancakes are great on their very own, they’re particularly good when served with Greek yogurt, bitter cream, or tzatziki.
