Zucchini Patties

This recipe also calls for a Parmesan sauce that I will call ‘optional’ since it calls for 1/2 stick of butter. Too rich for my blood!

Fresh Ingredients
1-1/2 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 small onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp butter

PantryFare
8 tbsp flour

Oils and Spices
pinch of basil
herb salt & pepper to taste
oil for frying

Saute the grated zucchini and carrots in 2 tbsp butter for 8-10 minutes. Beat egg and milk, add basil, salt and pepper. Add to vegetables along with enough flour to form the mixture into patties. Pan fry the patties in an oiled skillet until golden.

For the sauce melt 1/2 stick butter and stir in 3 tbsp flour. Add 1/2 cup milk, stirring over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Add 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese and simmer a few minutes as you stir. Serve on top of patties.

Vegetable Casserole

Here is another recipe provided by Kelly, my dental hygienist, via FoodNetwork.com and Rachel Ray. It’s pretty easy and very tasty. Allow more time to cook if your pieces are larger than 1/2″.

Fresh Ingredients
1 medium potato, chopped into 1” pieces
1 medium yam, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1” pieces
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces
(you can substitute eggplant, summer squash or fresh green beans for the above – be colorful and imaginative)
1 red onion, sliced ¼”
1 large zucchini, sliced ¼”
1 tomato, sliced ¼”
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

PantryFare
2 T Italian bread crumbs

Spices and Oils
5 T olive oil
salt and pepper
dried basil

Toss the first four ingredients in 2 T olive oil in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add salt and pepper spreading the vegetables across the bottom of the pan. Layer the onion, tomato and zucchini slices over the top. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with dried basil leaves and drizzle with 2 T oil.

Mix the cheese and bread crumbs in a small bowl, sprinkle over the casserole, and drizzle one last time with 1 T oil.

Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, approximately 45 minutes, until vegetables are tender and the topping is browned.

Be healthy!

Carrot, Tomato, and Spinach Quinoa Pilaf

Quinoa Pilaf

I found this recipe on All Recipes. I didn’t change it too much, but I didn’t use their measurements – I just eyeballed it.

Fresh Ingredients
1/2 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 cups water
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup baby spinach

PantryFare
1 cup quinoa

Spices and Oils
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetarian chicken-flavored bouillon granules
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat, stir in quinoa, and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in the water, bouillon granules, black pepper, and thyme; raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the carrots. Cover and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat, add the tomatoes and spinach, and stir until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes have given off their moisture, about 2 minutes.

(5 Servings)
