Fried Zucchini

Mmmmmm! This has got to be one of my favorite summer treats! Fried zucchini! Granny sent home a zucchini from their garden Sunday and we had these yummy guys for dinner last night. Well, I did. No one else ate them. And if I hadn't used all of my shortening to fry these, I would have had them for lunch again today.

Fried Zucchini

1 zucchini, thinly sliced
flour
corn meal
rice milk
shortening

Slice zucchini into desired thickness (I like mine potato chip thin) and place in a bowl of rice milk. Mix flour and corn meal together on a plate or a plastic bag. I don't measure amounts, it's just what you like. Dredge sliced zucchini in flour and corn meal. Heat shortening in a skillet over medium heat, or use a deep fryer. Fry zucchini slices until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and salt immediately.

Enjoy these tasty things- I know I am!
