Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp water
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1/2 tsp salt , or to taste
4 cups coarsely grated zucchini (1 lb)
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 large egg whites
4 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

Directions:

Make basil chive cream: Blend sour cream, water, basil, chives, and salt in a blender until smooth and pale green. Chill until ready to serve.
Make pancakes: Put zucchini in a colander and toss with salt. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes, then wrap zucchini in a kitchen towel and twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl and stir in flour, sugar, and pepper.
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks, then gently fold into zucchini mixture.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 5, spoon 2 tablespoons batter per pancake into skillet, flattening slightly with back of spoon. Cook pancakes, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes total, transferring as cooked to paper towels to drain and adding more oil to skillet as necessary.
Serve immediately, with basil chive cream.
