Tomato Zucchini Fritters
with White Bean Succotash & Aioli
Succotash, a popular side dish in northeastern American cuisine, comes from the Indigenous peoples of what we now call New England. This veggie-packed celebration of summer typically consists of sweet corn, lima beans, tomatoes, and okra. For our simplified version, we substitute shallots and crunchy red bell peppers for the tomatoes and okra and swap in creamy cannellini beans for the lima beans. This refreshing veggie medley accompanies pan-fried vegetable fritters made from zucchini and tomatoes.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and a pinch of salt and cook until softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and stir in cannellini beans, bell pepper, shallot, just half the lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. Wipe skillet clean and set aside for step 3. (4-servings: use 2 tsp olive oil, 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt)
Combine zucchini, tomato, and a pinch of salt and pepper in colander and let mixture sit for 5 minutes. Using your hand or spatula, press mixture against colander to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer mixture to medium bowl and stir in just ¾ cup chickpea flour and French mustard & herb blend. (4-servings: use 1½ cups chickpea flour) (TIP: Add additional chickpea flour, 1 tbsp at a time, if the mixture is too wet to hold its shape.)
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Using ¼-cup measuring cup, add fritter batter, 3 to 4 at time, and gently flatten with spatula. Cook until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer tomato zucchini fritters to paper towel-lined plate and season to taste with salt. (4-servings: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
Stir together mayo, garlic, remaining lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. Divide white bean succotash between bowls and top with tomato zucchini fritters and radish. Serve with aioli. Bon appétit!
