Broccoli Patties
Two or Three large bunches of broccoli. (I buy the crowns only. Wash and cut up)
Special breadcrumb
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
one half cup of locatelli cheese
2-3 eggs
olive oil for frying
Steam broccoli until quite tender. Mince the flower part very fine and put into a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients. You may have to change the quantity of eggs or breadcrumb so as to be able to handle the mixture easily. Mix very well and form into oval shaped patties. Heat about 2 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Fry till golden on both sides. Do not fry too fast. Drain on paper towels. Can be frozen. Defrost and reheat in a 350 oven. ~Lucille
Variation: Instead of making patties, Aunt Marie put the entire mixture into a greased casserole and baked it in a 350 oven. This can then be cut into squares for an appetizer. Also has less fat this way. ~Lucille
