Serves 6 l Difficulty: easy l Prep time: 15min l Total time: 30min
Ingredients
4 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons ghee (or butter)
2 tsp salt
Fresh pepper
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
3 cups grated zucchini (about 1 large zucchini)
1 cup fresh sweet corn off the cob or can (organic and non GMO)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
1 3/4 cups unbleached chickpea, gluten-free flour
Steps
In a large bowl, combine eggs, oil, salt, pepper and dried herbs. Whisk to combine.
Add the zucchini, corn and cheddar cheese and stir thoroughly with a spatula.
Add the flour and stir until thoroughly combined and there are no pockets of dry flour hiding in the batter
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle to medium-high heat, adding a small amount of ghee to the skillet.
Using a big spoon, scoop 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto the skillet and flatten, if necessary, with the back of the scoop into a circle about 4 inches in diameter. Cook on each side about 3-4 minutes, or until a deep golden brown.
Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm as appetizer or tapas, with your favorite toppings (e.g. sour cream, guacamole).
