As long as there is a farmers’ market to photograph, I will be blogging farmers’ market photos. I hope that’s okay with all of you. I never get bored of looking at beautiful food, and it really doesn’t get more beautiful.
This past Friday, as usual, I hit up my normal Copley haunts, Siena Farms and Atlas Farms, in addition to some others for my weekend produce. Since my husband was working all weekend, I wanted to make a little special vegetarian something for myself, and that I did. There are lot’s of photos, but I promise there is a recipe at the end 😉
But first, the market. Siena Farms had this beautiful fennel, perfect for soups and salads.
Beautiful yellow tomatoes
Some of my favorite greens
Garlic, one of those ingredients I can’t live without
An Epicurious.com cooking demo (that I missed) by Chef Benjamin Knack from Hell’s Kitchen
Strawberry, peach, and blackberry tarts that were to die for
Little heirloom tomatoes
And now a recipe for Zucchini Pancakes with Spiced Yogurt
Zucchini Pancakes
1 large zucchini, grated
2 eggs
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
pinch salt and pepper
The pancakes are simple. Mix all of the ingredients together. In a frying pan, add a tiny bit of olive oil just to thinly coat the pan. Using a spoon add several scoops of the zuucchini mix to the pan, and use the back of the spoon to pat them down into flatter cakes. Cook on medium heat for a few minutes, 3-4 depending the thickness of the cake. Then flip over to the other side. Keep flipping until each side has a little golden color.
Top the finished pancakes with spiced yogurt (and hot sauce, if you want to eat them like I did!)
Spiced Yogurt
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 TSP each curry powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper
3 TSP olive oil
The pancakes were so light and fluffy, and the cool spiced yogurt was a perfect accompaniment. I only wish the oil didn’t make it look so ugly. . . really it was delicious!
I enjoyed a nice quiet evening at home with dinner at a book on the deck. I missed my husband, but alone time can definitely be nice!
What is your favorite way to spend your alone time?

i love making zucchini pancakes… but question: did you spend a while squeezing the liquid from the zucchini? I find that I typically need to and it takes a while.
-
I actually didn’t. Normally I would salt it a little, then squeeze the water out, but maybe this one was dry? The only problem I had was the next day, some liquid separated out, so I added some more panko and really stirred it up.
-
That looks delicious! I will DEFINITELY be making those!
-
I love grated zucchini in anything so I definitely want to make this soon! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
-
These zucchini pancakes are the best things you ate all weekend, right? I can see why!
What do I look to do during alone time? I had a lovely Friday evening alone with takeout, wine and my DVR. It was just the R&R that I needed! I also tweeted last night about how as much as I love cooking with Bret, it is so lovely to cook alone. I made a delicious meal using green tomatoes (also from Siena Farms) when I got back from the gym last night and felt so relaxed being alone in the kitchen!

My favorite way to spend my alone time lately has been out to lunch. anddd lying around in the park. I’m sure you had no idea…I only post about these outings every week or so 😉
I walked around the copley farmers market on friday! finally. But I didn’t take any pictures. I knew you’d have it covered. Vibrant and gorgeous shots, as usual.

Can’t wait to make these. I have an abundance of zucchini…what a surprise. By the way, it seems like whenever I check out a recipe on foodbuzz, it turns out to be yours! Thank you!

Beautiful pictures!!! I LOVE summer time – seriously….just for all the farmer’s markets.
I never thought of making zucchini pancakes – I totally should try that using my favorite zuc. muffin recipe 🙂

Keep the pictures coming, I love them!

Seriously? Just zucchini, eggs, and panko?? I’m so making these if I find zucchini at the farmers’ market on Saturday. I’ve been googling and checking through my magazines for zucchini fritter recipes. I don’t know how I missed this! Thank you for posting!
-
It was really easy! I just sort of eyeballed it to make sure the mix wasn’t too wet. And they came out fluffy and delicious!
-
I love making potato pancakes, but I never thought of making them with zucchini! I will put this recipe aside for next summer! I wonder if butternut squash pancakes would be good?
