Crunchy zucchini rösti with grated cheese

Time

Preparation time: 10 min.
Cooking or baking time: 30 min.
Total preparation time: 40 min.

I had already set a similar recipe some time ago, but with this one I changed the ingredients a bit. These zucchini rösti taste even better, probably due to the hard cheese or oatmeal. They are very crispy and also taste cold the next day.

Ingredients (for 3 servings)

  • 3-4 small zucchini (about 250 g)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 60 g of grated hard cheese (Manchego, Parmesan or Pecorino)
  • 80 g of pungent oatmeal
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (fresh or frozen)
  • Pepper, salt, caraway, chilli powder
  • Rapeseed oil for frying

preparation

  1. The zucchini are washed and roughly grated. Through a cloth or sieve then the resulting liquid is expressed.
  2. The onion is peeled and finely diced.
  3. Then the zucchini and onion cubes are mixed with the eggs, the grated hard cheese, the oatmeal and the parsley and seasoned vigorously with pepper, salt, cumin and chilli powder.
  4. In a coated pan, a little oil is heated. Then add one heaped tablespoon of zucchini paste to the pan, sauté them a bit flat and fry the rösti on each side for 2-3 minutes until crisp and brown.

Then a fresh salad and / or herbal quark, cream cheese or just a little crème fraîche is served.
