The Vegetarian (grand)kids enjoyed them. Will be making them again. With fresh corn. Thanks. Love to see more vegetarian recipies.
I followed the recipe as listed, except I was out of green onions. I also took the suggestion to use fresh corn. Definitely loved this recipe. The fresh corn was worth the extra work, and will remember the green onions for next time too. I also love how this can be tweeked to suit your taste. Will be making again!
