A combination of zucchini and buckwheat make these a delicious appetizer.
By Sherron Watson
I love zucchini. I find that I add it to hamburger to stretch out my organic, grass fed beef. I add it to cakes and breads. I enjoy it sauteed, steamed and in casseroles. Zucchini, in my family, is a favorite vegetable.
These little pancakes remind me of a potato latke because the veggies are grated, fried in oil and can be served with a delicious topping. I used a bit of sourcream with a dash of horseradish and found it to be the perfect companion to these zucchini pancakes.
