SQUASH PATTIES

Violet's Squash Patties

8 medium squash (washed & cubed)
1 green bell pepper (cleaned & cubed)
1 red bell pepper (cleaned & cubed)
1 green tomato (washed & cubed)
1 banana pepper (cleaned & cubed)

In small batches, run all of the above ingredients through the food processor. Set aside in a strainer and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. When drained, move to a bowl and add in:

1 red onion (diced)
1 cup of mild cheddar (shredded)
+\- 1 cup of cornmeal
+\- 1 cup of flour
1 egg (lightly beaten)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2-1 tsp of Italian Seasoning
Add enough cornmeal & flour until it comes together like a chunky dough consistency. You dont want it too dry but dont want it too wet either. With a tablespoon, spoon heaping spoonfuls into a skillet over medium-high heat with some veg.oil in the bottom. Spread the spoonfuls out kinda flat and make them into patties. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Enjoy! :)

The first time I made this recipe, I forgot the cheese, and they were still fabulous.
