Zucchini cakes, sauteed greens, and apple/turnip "slaw"

Zucchini Cakes (From "The Artful Vegan" by Eric Tucker, et. al.):
1 cup sliced red onion
2 1/2 cups grated zucchini (press the extra moisture out by wringing it in a cloth towel)
2 tbl. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chickpea flour (I did 1/4 chickpea and 1/4 cup whole wheat flour)

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl (except the flour) and then add the flour slowly until you get the right consistency. Make patties (makes about 6-8 patties) and put them in the fridge for about an hour so they can gel up. Then, put a small amt. of oil in a skillet and when the oil is very hot, sear the cakes until they are crisp on each side (about 2 minutes or so on each side).

I got some red onion/fig marmalade (Joe's Market brand) and garnished the cakes w/ that. Mmmmm.

Sauteed Fertile Crescent Farm Greens!
For this part of the dish, I just chopped the tatsoi, mustard greens, and bok choy in a "chiffonade" style (tiny ribbons). I put about 1 tbl. of olive oil in a skillet w/ some chopped garlic, and a pinch of salt and let that start going for a second. Then, I added some chopped red pepper and waited for that to heat up (maybe 1 minute). I then tossed in the greens and turned the heat off (the greens cook super-quickly when chopped that way) and let it sit for about 1 minute and voila! served it up right after that.

Cold apple and turnip "slaw"
This is so easy to make, it's insane. Take three large turnips and 1 apple. Peel those suckers (eat the peels if you're feeling frisky or hungry) and then grate them. Toss the grated apples and turnips with 1 tbl. veggie oil, s/p to taste, 1 tbl. lemon juice, and about 1 tbl. chopped parsley. Some folks might want to add sugar, but I think the apples are plenty sweet. You only need a tiny amount of parsley or it will dominate the other flavors.

This was a delicious combo of savory and sweet, satisfying and light. All three dishes took about an hour to do (mostly b/c I was waiting for the zucchini cakes to firm up in the fridge).
