New England American Chop Suey
A comforting one-pot pasta of ground beef, onions, peppers, and macaroni — a weeknight staple in New England kitchens.
Zucchini Garlic Bites
Crispy little fritters made with fresh zucchini, garlic, and parmesan — a fast way to use up the summer surplus.
Instructions
- Mix zucchini, garlic, eggs, parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper into a thick batter.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter and flatten slightly; fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm with yogurt or marinara.
Chef's Notes
The secret is squeezing as much water from the zucchini as possible — wrap it in a towel and wring it out. These freeze well for a quick snack later.
