2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 egg

2 tbsps. olive oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

3 medium zucchini, grated, drained in a colander

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 tbsps. onion, finely chopped

1 tbsp. parsley, minced

Sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside. In a large

bowl, combine the egg, olive oil, 1/2 cup of the milk, salt and

pepper. Beat to a smooth paste and gradually add sifted flour

mixture (consistency will be very stiff). Add grated cheese and

remaining milk to make a smooth but stiff batter. Blend in grated

zucchini, garlic, onion, and parsley. Heat the cooking oil to the

deep-fry stage and drop in the batter by spoonfuls. Fry until

golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm until

all are cooked. Lightly salt to taste and serve

immediately.
