Zucchini Cakes!
Okay, seriously, I haven't talked much about anything I've actually been eating.. and that's because, for the most part, it's just been 'normal' dishes with the meat omitted. Pasta with tomato sauce, stir fry, fajitas, etc. All pretty basic fare.
But yesterday.. because we had a huge zucchini to use.. my husband looked up vegan zucchini recipes, and came across these zucchini cakes.
They are DELICIOUS! Seriously.
Now, I can't tell you if they taste anything like crab cakes.. cause I've never eaten one. Regardless, they are yummy.. and I don't know anyone who wouldn't gladly gobble these down.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
3 cups zucchini (about 1 medium), grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 egg replacer (we used Ener-G)
1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise (recommend Vegenaise original)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or cayenne pepper if you like it spicy)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation:
Place grated zucchini (we used a food processor to grate) in a colander with salt, and let stand 30 minutes. Gently press with paper towels to absorb as much moisture as you can. You want it fairly dry and should measure about 2 cups now.
Place remaining ingredients (except oil) with zucchini in a bowl, and mix well. Form into 8 patties, and chill for about 15 minutes or so. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add patties to hot skillet and cook on both sides until browned. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
Then ENJOY. You'll thank me!
