This is a recipe I got from a cousin. I love squash in the summertime, but do not care for it frozen. This is a great way to use (and freeze) some of the bounty from your garden!

Ingredients For squash puppies

  • 8 md
    yellow squash (or zucchini)
  • 1 md
    onion
  • 1 Tbsp
    salt
  • 1 c
    all purpose flour
  • 1/2 c
    cornmeal
  • 1 c
    grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1
    egg - lightly beaten
  • black pepper
  • oil for frying

How To Make squash puppies

  • 1
    Grate squash and onion. Place in colander and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to get rid of excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • 2
    Mix squash and onion with flour, cornmeal, cheese, egg, and black pepper to taste.
  • 3
    Heat oil and drop mixture by tablespoonfuls into hot oil. Cook until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
  • 4
    Serve hot as an appetizer with dipping sauce of your choice (I use a cajun aoli), or serve as a side dish.
  • 5
    This makes a bunch, and they freeze well. I freeze them individually on a cookie sheet, then transfer to a plastic bag.
