"Deep Fried" Zucchini

Not actually deep fried at all, and made with whole grain flour!

Ingredients:
Zucchini
Brown rice flour
Water
Egg
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
Chili powder

Make a batter out of water, egg, and brown rice flour. It should have the consistency of a pancake batter. In fact, this whole process is a lot like making tiny pancakes that just happen to have a little slice of zucchini inside them. Add garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to taste to the batter. Slice the zucchini into 1/4 inch slices. Coat the zucchini slices in brown rice flour (to help the batter stick), and then dip them in the batter. Cook small batches of zucchini slices in a single layer in a heated frying pan with a little bit of sunflower oil (or whatever you like to use. Just enough so that they don't stick.) Cook for a couple of minutes on each side, until the batter is cooked and lightly browned. The zucchini inside will be soft but not mushy. They're very good with ranch dip or mango chutney.
