ZUCCHINI CAKES WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE
I got the idea for this recipe from a Greek restaurant I worked at. The horseradish sauce is my favorite thing about them because I love that rush of spiciness that clears the sinuses.

Steps:
- Cut off and discard the roots of the green onions, and cut the whites and about 1 inch of the green parts into thin slices. Place half the sliced green onions, the mayonnaise, horseradish, and milk in a small bowl and stir until well combined. Reserve the rest of the sliced green onions.
- Cut off the ends of the zucchini and discard. Grate the zucchini and place it on a paper towel. Wrap the paper towel around the zucchini and squeeze over the sink to remove the excess liquid. Peel and finely chop the garlic or pass it through a garlic press.
- Lightly beat the egg yolk in a large bowl. Add the reserved green onions, the garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the flour. Gently stir in the zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Put the 1/4 cup of flour into a small, flat dish. Form the zucchini mixture into 2 balls, dip the balls into the dish of flour so that they are coated all over, and flatten them slightly to form the cakes. Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the zucchini cakes, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Place the zucchini cakes on a plate and top with the sauce.
- The horseradish website (yes, it really exists, www.horseradish.org) calls horseradish a root with roots. It's been used for various purposes for more than three thousand years, including as a remedy for back pain, a treatment for rheumatism and tuberculosis, a cure for headaches, and-you guessed it-an aphrodisiac.
