Zucchini Corn Cakes with Cilantro “Cream”

As the summer begins, eating a raw food diet gets easier. Fresh produce is starting to appear and inspiration abounds. I found some beautiful looking sweet corn at the market yesterday. Creating a raw food recipe for zucchini corn cakes has been on my mind for quite a while so I bought the corn and dug in.

 

 

Remembering a zucchini tart that I used to make (a family favorite) that had Dijon  mustard and white pepper in it, I set out to try to recreate some of these flavors. The zucchini tart also had a crust made from crescent rolls and was loaded with eggs and cream. Not exactly healthy. This version combines the flavors that I remember from that tart, plus tasty fresh corn! I topped it with a cilantro cream. Heaven! The taste of these is amazing. Even your non-raw friends and family will be impressed.

    Hi, I’m not fond of Cilantro, could I substitute parsley instead?

      Dot: I was waiting for that comment. I do know that cilantro is a love it or hate it kind of thing. I am sure you can use parsley. I haven’t so not sure how it will taste but should be fine. The cilantro LOVES corn so. But if you don’t love cilantro…

    Can’t wait to try them! I wonder if I can substitute raw organic frozen corn and if so what quantity? What do you think?

      Elizabeth: Frozen corn will work. Not quite the same as fresh as the flavor just explodes in your mouth. I would use the same quantity.

    I can’t tell you how delicious those sound! And the photo is gorgeous. I’m thinking my digital stove will work as a dehydrator. . . 😉

    Mmm, those look SO good! Love the idea of putting cilantro in the ‘cream’ sauce. I’m obsessed with cilantro right now because it’s growing all over my herb garden!
