Zucchini!

I really like tempura zucchini at Sisho (japanese restaurant here = awesome). So when I came across this recipie I knew I had to try it out. It wasn't perfect but you can change it to your own tastes, improve as you go along. I love anything fried so I knew it was no fail :)
It was a little heavier than what I`d like for a batter but it was different and I ate it all up. I halfed the recipie as I only bought one zucchini.

INGREDIENTS
2 zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 onion, sliced into rings
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
Place zucchini and onions in a medium bowl and mix together.
In a small bowl mix flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Pour dry mixture over zucchini/onion mixture, cover bowl and shake well. Let mixture sit for about 30 minutes; a batter will form on the vegetables.
In a medium skillet heat oil over medium heat. When oil is hot add breaded vegetables and fry, turning to brown evenly.

DELISH!!
I think I will try it with different vegtables next. But I am now hooked on Zucchini! I know Mom and Dad will like this one.... even Kaleb would give it a 8.7/10.
