I was avoiding the fairly empty refrigerator before dinner and thinking about how much I didn't want to go shopping. In my usual head-on approach to any task, I was sneaking a read on my ipad Kindle app when a pop-up notification appeared telling me the July issue of BHG was on my iPad. In some fit of domesticity I ordered an electronic subscription several months ago and had kind of forgotten about it. I went straight to the recipe index and noticed a whole section on broccoli. Hmm, thought I, I have broccoli in the fridge...
A few tweaks of the recipe to "veganize" it for Irad (whole wheat flour, flax seed in place of eggs, rice milk in place of milk), and voilà!
Broccoli Cornmeal Fritter
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup corn meal
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 and 1/2 cups of rice milk
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
One head of finely chopped broccoli, softened by steaming or in microwave for 2 minutes
Mix dry ingredients together. Fold in the rice milk quickly along with the broccoli.
Form the fritters into patties, and fry lightly in pan. Serve immediately with a light salad.
Optional: top with crème fraîche (for the non-vegan) and sprigs of fresh thyme
This recipe and others can be found on my vegan blog.

Do you think this recipe would work with zucchini in place of the broccoli (or too much moisture)?
