Zucchini Fritters

Cook the zucchinis in salted water until they're tender, then drain and puree them

Drain well and press through a grater

Add the butter, egg yolks, salt, and black pepper

Mix well and shape into small fritters, dusting with all-purpose flour

Beat the egg whites, dip the fritters first in beaten egg and then coat in breadcrumb

Perform this operation carefully, as the dough is delicate

Heat a good amount of oil in a frying pan and fry the fritters until they're golden brown

Drain on paper towels and serve hot

Yield: 4 portions.
