Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 40 minutes

Mix the green spelt with the hot vegetable stock and let it swell for about 2 hours. Coarsely grate the zucchini, season with salt, and let it draw out some water. Then squeeze it well through a cheesecloth. Finely chop the onion and herbs. Fluff the green spelt with a fork. Then mix with the zucchini, onion, and herbs. Add the egg, flour, and enough breadcrumbs to form a pliable mixture (about 1 handful of breadcrumbs – depending on the size of the egg). Season to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Shape the mixture into about 9 patties and fry in not too hot olive oil until golden brown.
