I'm going to try to do some more posts for you guys about doing things for yourself! It may be about gardening in your yard using beautiful plants, or it may be about cooking dishes made from local produce. TODAY's post is from one of my childhood friends, Dianne. She makes some lovely dishes, and when she posted a picture of this one on Facebook, I knew it was something I wanted to try. Well, try it I did! I made these one night last week with YELLOW SQUASH from the Creekside Garden. Scott and I didn't even make the rest of the items we had for dinner! We just sat down and each had a big plate of these Yellow Squash Patties. They were THAT good. I'll be speaking with Dianne about what other recipes she can share with me. Also, if any of my readers have a dish that they would like to share, I would love to hear about it. Gotta love the harvest in east Tennessee.
Yellow Squash Patties
2 cups grated yellow squash
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup self-rising corn meal
1 small onion (vidalia or red), chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup shredded parmesean
2-3 cloves of fresh garlic, pressed or minced
dried or fresh parsley to taste
sea salt and ground pepper to taste
olive oil, for cooking
~Mix all ingredients together and spoon out into patties in a hot, greased
frying pan. Brown on both sides. Blot with paper towel if too oily.
*I like to sprinkle a little sea salt on them while they are cooking.
Enjoy!!! : )
Missy (& Dianne)
