Vegetarian Crab Cakes

My god mum Ing Ing is having a vegetarian diet for two weeks so I decided to post some vegetarian recipes for her to try out. This recipe is from allrecipes and it's sorta a vegetarian style crab cake. While it might not taste totally like crab cakes, it's a healthy alternative and tastes great too!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini (it's good to squeeze out the excess water first)
  
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup bread crumbs (you can use seasoned bread crumbs: recipe here)
  
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM (This is specially to give it a crab cake taste but you can use your own style seasoning. I personally used curry powder with garlic salt and fresh group pepper and some dried parsley)
  
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in seasoned crumbs, minced onion, and seasoning. Mix well.
2. Shape mixture into patties. Dredge in flour.
3. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown on both sides.
