Fried Zucchini with Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 large zucchinis
• Salt
• pepper (ground)

• 1 sprig mint
• 1 sprig parsley
• 0.5 tsp grated organic lemon zest
• vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash, peel, and grate the zucchini into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Separate the eggs; whisk the yolks with olive oil and stir into the grated zucchini. Gradually sift in flour and mix well. Wash, pat dry, and finely chop the mint and parsley leaves. Stir in lemon zest. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then fold into the batter.
