Tofu Veggie Corn Cakes image

Yield 12 corn cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups mashed firm tofu firmly packed
1/2 cup water
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup firmly packed grated zucchini
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

1. Place the tofu, water, garlic, baking powder, and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until sooth and creamy. Transfer to a medium bowl, add all the remaining ingredients except the oil, and mix well. 2. Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until brown on the bottom. Turn over and brown the other side. Remove the cakes to a platter and continue with the remaining batter. (In order to hold their shape without falling apart, the cakes must be small.) 3. Serve the cakes hot or at room temperature.
