Fried Zucchini A'La Fred Foster - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -6 small zucchini
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter (more if you need it)
kosher salt
ground pepper

Preparation

Slice the zucchini crosswise into thin slices and lay them on a platter. Salt the zucchini and let them sit for 10 minutes. Lay out paper towels and turn the slices over so the salted side is on the towel. Salt the other side and let sit again for 10 minutes. Turn the slices over again.
Meanwhile, place evaporated milk and flour into two shallow bowls. Mix some salt and ground pepper into the flour. When the zucchini are ready, dip each slice into the evaporated milk, and then dredge in the flour. Set back onto the platter.
Put 2-3 tablespoons of butter into a large skillet on medium high until the butter just starts bubbling. Add as many zucchini slices as will fit in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip, sprinkle salt and fresh ground pepper onto the cooked side and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove zucchini once they are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Place on a platter lined with paper towel. Cool for 2 minutes and then serve while hot. Repeat this process with additional batches of zucchini, adding more butter to the pan each time. I think the best way to enjoy these is to have everyone hanging out in the kitchen and eating them with their fingers off the platter while they are still hot! Enjoy!
