Meal 2: Zucchini Latkes, Cucumber Salad, Summercrisp Lettuce Salad
· Tip the jar of latke batter into a mixing bowl. Pour off any excess water. Season it well with salt and fold to combine. Add a little cornmeal, or other flour to bind the batter if necessary.
· Heat oil or butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. When hot, add dollops of the batter to the pan and flatten them a bit with a spatula. Plan on about 4 latkes per share. Do not crowd the pan. Work in batches.
· Allow a good 3 minutes per side over medium heat to brown the latkes. They have more water and therefore cook more gradually, and require more patient heat than potato latkes. Flip with a spatula to cook both sides. Drain on paper towel. Serve with some yogurt and fresh herbs. basil is particularly good.
