Zucchini Pancake

    2T unsalted peanuts
    2 eggs
    1T dry sherry or Shao-Hsing wine
    2T tamari
    1t sugar
    1/2t kosher salt (I would omit next time)
    pinch of white pepper
    1/2C all-purpose flour
    1 medium zucchini, cut into appprox. 1/16"x1/16"x1" julienne
    2t peanut oil (approx)

Dry roast the peanuts in a heavy skillet until they turn brown. Turn frequently. Let cool. Place between 2 sheets of waxed paper and coarsely crush with rolling pin. (Don''t use a food processor.) Set aside. Into a blender put everything else except the zucchini and oil. Mix until homogenous. This can be done hours ahead of time, then covered and refrigerated. When ready to cook stir in the peanuts and vegetable. Heat the oil in a 10" skillet on medium-high heat. When hot pour or spoon in the batter and spread to the rim. Cook about 3 minutes, until brown. Place a plate over the skillet and invert. Slide the pancake back into the pan and finish cooking, about 1 - 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
