Hashed-Brown Zucchini
Ingredients:

* 1/4 Cup butter
* 1 1/2 lb zucchini (coarsely shredded to make 4 cups)
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 clove fresh garlic - finely minced
* 2 eggs
* 6 Tbsp Parmesan cheese - freshly grated is best

Combine zucchini with salt in a medium-size bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes. Squeeze with your hands to press out moisture. Stir in eggs, cheese and garlic. Melt 2 Tbsp of the butter in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Mound about 2 Tbsp of the zucchini mixture in pan; flatten slightly to make a patty. Repeat until pan is filled, but don't crowd patties in pan. Cook patties, turning once, until golden on both sides (about 6 minutes).

Lift out and arrange on a warm platter; keep warm. Repeat to cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more butter as needed.
