Monday, June 11, 2012 at 1:44PM | 2 Comments Meatless Monday: Zucchini Cakes
Today's Meatless post is from Tina at http://www.justputzing.com
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini, grated
1 large egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Salt/pepper to taste
1 tbsp Adobo spices
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Steps:
(1) Remove excess liquid from freshly grated zucchini by placing them between paper towels and squeezing.
** There will be a LOT of excess liquid, so I suggest you squeeze over the sink.
(2) In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
(3) Heat a large pan on medium, and spray with Pam. Shape spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into 2-inch (diameter) patties, and drop onto the sizzling pan. Cook each side for about a minute and a half, or until the outside is golden brown.
(4) Finish the cakes off in the oven — stick them on a baking pan and broil them for 1-2 minutes.
** Note: I skipped this step when I made my cakes, so the sides were still kind of soft — not really a problem in terms of taste, but if you want a nice crust to form on the sides too, finishing them off in the oven should do the trick.
(5) Serve hot, alone or with ranch dressing.
Editor's note: we will be on vacation for a few weeks this summer, so if you are looking for more meatless recipes check out the archive.

Pure sunlight!
Essentially food is information from the Cosmos. Food contains information. When we eat a plant based diet, phytonutrients of the plant, we are basically becoming the plant which is pure light energy. The plant is storing sunlight ~pure sunlight!

FearLess,
Please stay positive and not just dwell on what is wrong. Offer solutions in-between all the harsh stuff. I'm in Turkey helping in the Syrian refugee camps and we have more pressing issues in this world to address than just climate. We are still so blessed in the US but poverty and injustice begs our attention!
Blessings~
