Vegetable Fritters




Ingredients:
1 Medium Zucchini
1 Large Carrot
1 Walla-walla onion along with 2 inches of the stem
Chard (I used 2 stems, you could use more)
4 cloves Garlic
1/4 c bread crumbs
2 eggs (If you don't use eggs, this would work great with 2 T ground flax seed soaked in 1/4 c water)
Basil
Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Grate Zucchini and Carrot, place in Medium mixing bowl
2. Roll Chard into a bundle with Herbs and chop roughly, Add to bowl
3. Dice onion add to bowl. *
4. Mince Garlic and add to bowl. *
5. Add bread crumbs and eggs to the bowl along with salt and pepper. Mix.
*If your family has issues with onion blend the onions, garlic and even the herbs together in the blender.

Red Onions would make this even prettier, but it wouldn't taste quite as sweet.


Take 1/4 cup at a time and fry in a lightly oiled frying pan (Non-stick really works best). Let cook 3-5 minutes then flip and cook through.
Serve- These would be great with a little tahini warmed and drizzled over the top, some Aioli, or just plain.

I was just going to post this, we made something very similarly the other day. Instead of bread crumbs we used oatmeal as well as onion, zucchini and squash. We All Loved them.
