Hearth-Fired Cheesy Squash Patties with Garlic Aoli - DnD, Fantasy, Video Game Inspired Recipes
An interesting goblin-fellow stopped by the inn today requesting a few recipes for a book he was writing. I had some extra summer squash and plenty of mozzerella, so I fried up some patties and handed them over. He loved them!This recipe is written in collaboration with Unlimited Realms. They have launched a kickstarter for a new 5e home building guide called "Gobbo's Guide to Hearths and Home". This hardback book comes with 3 new races, 3 new Sub-classes, and, most excitingly, the rules for building a home base for your adventuring party. This book will provide options for creating bases of all sorts, from a family homestead to an ancient sanctum. Different types of bases will provide different buffs and story hooks to your campaign, and you will have the option to add different extensions that will open up a range of possibilities to your players, such as forges, alters, greenhouses, and more. Not only that, the book will provide rules for building a community of NPCs that can inhabit the base, from pets to family to staff, and much much more! Check out their Kickstarter, the link will be provided on this recipe when the kickstarter goes live!

Ingredients
Hearth-Fired Cheesy Squash Patties
- 8-10 summer squash medium
- 1 yellow onion medium
- 1.5 cup mozzerella
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 1 egg
- 1.5 tbsp salt
- pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 1 cup canola, vegetable, or other neutral oil for frying
Garlic Aoli
- ¾ cup kewpie mayo
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp sriracha optional, for a spicy kick
Instructions
Hearth-Fired Cheesy Squash Patties
- Using a mandoline or grater, grate the squash and onion until it is all finely shredded. The thickness should resemble shredded cheese.
- Place the vegetables in a collander to drain for about 30 minutes, then squeeze out the remaining moisture with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside. Removing this moisture will prevent the oil from popping when you fry the patties.
- In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the egg, cheese, squash, and onion. Stir to combine.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat to 350 to 375F (180 to 190C).
- Taking about 2 tbsp of the mixture, form it into a patty shape and carefully place it into the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
Garlic Aoli
- Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. If you are looking for a little bit of spice, add in the sriracha as well. Cover and place in fridge until ready to use.
Assembly
- Place the squash patties on a plate, and drizzle some aoli on top. Serve and enjoy, adventurer!
