so we made this delicious dinner last week, and i had a whole post prepared for you. but then….
friends, i have a full-blown fritter obsession. since i started this food blog, we’ve made beet fritters, chickpea patties, corn fritters, potato latkes, quinoa cakes, sweet potato latkes, vegetable pancakes, and zucchini fritters – and we’ve enjoyed all of them. but we’ve never made any fritters with millet. so when i saw this recipe, i knew we had to make it asap.
i feel like every recipe that i’ve shared lately is a fast weeknight meal. nothing’s fancy. nothing’s lengthy. just simple, yummy food. and yep, you guessed it, this is another quick meal.
about a month ago, mike and i hosted a movie club night at our place. we decided to make tamales and black beans for our friends (i know, i know: where’s the tamale recipe? it’s coming soon, i promise). after our friends had eaten their fill, we had a lot of black beans left over from the feast. i mean A LOT. plus, we had some extra salsa, corn, zucchini, and avocado. and we had a ton of quinoa left from making these quinoa cakes the week before. so what are two people who hate to throw food away going to do with that situation? make hippie bowls!
i love ratatouille. and i have the blog posts (here, here, and here) to prove it! ratatouille is one of my favorite flavor combinations of vegetables – i love the eggplant, zucchini, and tomato combination! in this month’s vegetarian times, mark bittman (!) offered a series of vegetable-laden recipes, including this roasted ratatouille, and i knew i had to try this out right away.
