Summer squash fritters are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or even a light meal. This recipe uses yellow summer squash, tomatoes, onions, and flour.
1. Grate the yellow summer squash using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated squash in a colander, sprinkle with a little salt, and let it sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Then, squeeze out the excess moisture by pressing the squash with your hands or using a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated squash, chopped onion, and chopped tomato. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add flax meal mixture (3 tbsp flax meal with 5 tbsp water set aside) to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
4. Pour the flour and flax mixture over the grated squash, onion, and tomato. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated and well combined.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
6. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop a small portion of the squash mixture and drop it into the hot oil, shaping it into a patty. Flatten the patty slightly with the back of the spoon.
7. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Flip them carefully using a spatula to cook the other side.
8. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining mixture.
