Ingredients
1 large zucchini, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 eggs, beaten
½ C freshly grated Romano cheese
2 C all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley (optional)
¼ C vegetable shortening or oil
Directions
1In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, onion, garlic, eggs, Romano cheese, and flour. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.

5 Add more shortening to skillet as needed, and continue with remaining batter.
