1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise and then chopped small
1/2 cup cracked wheat, cooked to the consistency of cooked rice (follow package instructions)
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
4 Tbsp. sweet red pepper
4 Tbsp. sweet green pepper
1 garlic clove, peeled
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
2 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
Salt to taste
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. vegan chicken-style seasoning of your choice
Approximately 1 cup water
In a food processor or blender, put the sweet peppers, the garlic, the onion, with just enough water to make the machine function, and process till you have a smooth paste. Scrape into a bowl, add all the other ingredients and more, water, as needed, to have a thick but not stiff dough. Cook by large tablespoonfuls in a skillet that has been barely painted with olive oil until they are golden on both sides.
That Golden Moment...
