I love these zucchini fritters, the sweetness of the corn and the crunch of the quinoa with the nuttiness of the parmesan … heavenly…..with Fish, Chicken or a simple Green Salad! The original recipe I morphed from The Scrumptious Pumpkin to her credit all I did was add the corn and the Sous Salt

  • 2 small zucchini, grated
  • 1 c cooked quinoa
  • 2 T finely diced onion
  • 1 ear of corn, kernels removed from the cob
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

  • 1/2 t ground cumin
  • 2 t Sous Salt Herb or Sun Dried Tomato

  • Mix eggs, garlic, cumin and 2 Tbsp. parsley in a medium bowl; season with 1/2 tsp Sous Salt Grey Herb and pepper.
  • Squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini mixture in the towels. Add to the egg mixture the corn from the cob, the quinoa and the zucchini mixture. Sprinkle flour and baking powder over; mix gently.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, spoon scoops of mixture into skillet, flattening gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack; season with Sous salt. Drizzle Siracha sauce over the zucchini cakes top with chopped parsley.
