Carrot Zucchini Fritters


2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 medium zucchini, shredded and squeezed dry (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large carrot, shredded
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt...they taste great without it
1/8 teaspoon pepper
oil for deep-fat frying

Place onion and butter in a microwave-safe dish.  Cover; microwave on high
until onion is tender.  Add egg, zucchini and carrot.  In another bowl, combine
flour, cheese, cornmeal, salt and pepper.  Stir in vegetable mixture just until
combined. In a skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees.  Drop
rounded tablespoons of batter into oil.  Fry for 1-2 minutes until deep golden brown,
 turning once.  Drain on paper towels. Serve with ranch dressing.
