Summer Squash Croquettes
To create something new from leftover vegetables, Marie Rizzio's mother frequently made fritters out of eggplant, broccoli, and zucchini. Years later, Riccio replicated her mother's vegetable patties but made them healthier and incorporated summer squash. Rizzio avoids full-fat frying by lightly browning the croquettes in a touch of canola oil.
