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 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.
i think there’s no good way to take photos of a lentil loaf. no matter how many different angles i tried, it kept looking kinda blah. but the thing is that this recipe is anything but blah. the lentil loaf is loaded with such amazing flavors, all held together by two magic ingredients: ground flax seeds that are soaked in water and slightly overcooked lentils.
one of my close friends gifted me the smitten kitchen cookbook (thanks, lis!) waaay back in november, and i’ve been trying to decide which recipe i should begin with ever since then. does this happen to any of you, dear readers? when gifted with an amazing cookbook, i often suffer temporary paralysis, wherein i can’t decide which recipe to make first because they all look so delicious. so the cookbook just sits, often open, on my nightstand until i finally pick the first recipe (this happened with both of the cookbooks from 101 cookbooks, plus the moosewood cookbook). or maybe it’s just me?
