Squash Fritters , So Easy, So Yummy

                                           

                                                              Squash Fritters

3 cups grated summer squash

1 teaspoon salt

2-3 large eggs

3/4 cup good quality grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried basil or 3 tablespoons fresh, finely chopped

3 tablespoons flour (I add wheat bran sometimes too)

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup diced onions - optional

Put grated squash in colander and sprinkle with salt.  Cover and let drain for about 1 hour.  Refrigerate if draining for a longer period.

Squeeze squash to remove excess moisture.  Combine squash with remaining ingredients.   Heat a few tablespoons butter, or olive oil or canola oil in large skillet over medium heat.  Spoon a few tablespoons of batter into skillet and cook until browned on the botton, turn and cook other size.

Serve as side dish, with a dip, or even make into a sandwich.
