quinoa patties with feta, zucchini, and corn

 in summer, dinner is a joy.
i'm not teaching, so there's time to explore new recipes and cookbooks.
here's my first experience with quinoa, compliments of homemade summer.
it would take a food stylist or lauren to make the patties look appetizing, but
they taste delicious.   

you take one cup of cooked quinoa, and mix it with two eggs, some zucchini, the kernels of one corn cob, garlic, onion, parsley, feta, and chives.  add salt and hot or other pepper.   bread crumbs.  make patties.

fry gently in oil.
i served mine with vanilla, cucumber, and mint yogurt.

you can find another recipe here.

this is a health food?  

edible beauty.
joy to you!

  1. Noreen, you're too kind to me! These patties sound delicious! It's funny, I woke up yesterday thinking about corn fritters. We used to have them when I was a kid, and I never make them. And guess what? Today is National Corn Fritter Day! Who knew?! I'm going out tonight, but I'm getting on it tomorrow!
