2-3tablespoons(27g)vegetable oil - for the skillet
Instructions
Finely chop 1 pound yellow squash, sliced and place into a microwave-safe glass bowl along with 1/4 cup yellow onions, chopped and 1/4 cup red peppers, chopped.
Microwave on HIGH for 9-10 minutes or until squash is thoroughly cooked and soft. Drain. Mash. Drain again. (I place cooked veggie mixture in a sieve and press on it with a big spoon.)
Add remaining ingredients: 1 large egg, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon table or sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and sprinkle of fresh thyme, to cooked squash and stir to combine.
Heat a large skillet on medium. Add 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil and heat until it glistens. Drop batter by spoonfuls into your skillet without crowding. Flatten with the back of a spoon to make a patty.
Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to fry the other side (similar to making pancakes). Serve immediately.
Notes
A tablespoon of chopped green chiles makes a tasty addition if you like things a little spicy.
