Amount	Ingredient
Ingredients
3 medium	zucchini or yellow squash, or combination, grated
1 cup	carrots, matchstick size
1 medium	onion, diced
1 tablespoon	chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 tablespoons	olive oil
3 cloves	garlic, minced
2 large	eggs
1/2 cup	flour or fine bread crumbs
	kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation Remove the extra liquid out of the grated zucchini/squash by wrapping in a towel, twisting and squeezing. Heat half of the oil; add carrot and onion and fry for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and continue frying until liquid is mostly gone. Transfer to bowl and let cool. Mix in eggs, flour or bread crumbs, herbs and spices. Heat the rest of the oil, drop in small "pancakes" of the zucchini mixture, and fry until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Turn and fry another 4-5 minutes. Tip: Make a small batch of sour cream seasoned with salt and pepper to serve with the cakes.
