zucchini (or in my case-yellow squash) burgers

4(ish) zucchini (yellow squash actually works amazingly well and when that's what you have an abundance of...)
1/2 t salt
1/4 C almonds (crushed or slivered)
3 T minced basil (fresh from our garden!!!)
1 T flour
egg replacer equivalent to 1 egg
1/4 C bread crumbs
1 T oil

as always, of course, doing what a recipe tells you to do is vital and makes a huge difference/makes you not want to pull your hair out and cry.

after shredding the squash, squeeze out the excess water via cheesecloth.

combine all ingredients. shape into patties and fry in a good amount of oil until lightly browned. transfer to a tray and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.


also, another good lesson is to actually use (purchased) breadcrumbs as opposed to just toasting leftover bread and making your own as this works much better for desired results.

as we (of course) STILL have a bunch of yellow squash from my mom's garden, but alas, have no more almonds, i will be making them w/walnuts, today. we'll see.
