1. Grate zucchini very finely and pour off the juice.
2. In a bowl, combine together flour, grated, drained
zucchini, salt, beaten egg.

3. Make patties from this mixture. Roll them in the bread
crumbs or flour coating them completely.

4. Add oil to skillet; Heat oil in skillet over medium heat,
rotate skillet to coat with oil. Add patties. Place over a
medium- high heat and when hot fry the patties for approx.
5-6 minutes per side or until done to suit your taste, or
until zucchini begins to brown and is tender-crisp. When
all patties will be fried, return zucchini patties to
skillet, heat through.

sour cream on each patty.

Italian Recipe

SALAD "DEL PREVOSTO"

Boil in their skins three good-sized potatoes, peel them and slice
them, then put them into a salad bowl, and pour over them one-half a
glass of white wine. Do this about two or three hours before they are
wanted, so the potatoes will have time thoroughly to absorb the wine.
From time to time mix them with a fork and spoon to let the wine
permeate. A few minutes before the meal make a good French salad
dressing, add some pickled peppers cut up, some capers, and some
chopped-up parsley, pour on the French dressing, mix up well, and
serve.

"ALLA POLLASTRA" SALAD

Chop up six lettuce-leaves and three stalks of celery, cut up the
remains of a cold fowl in small pieces, and mix with one tablespoon of
vinegar and salt and pepper in a salad bowl. Pour a cup of mayonnaise
sauce over, and garnish with quarters of hard-boiled egg, one
tablespoon of capers, six stoned olives, and some small, tender
lettuce-leaves.
