 tender.
  Drain the zucchini and mash well. Add the sauteed vegetables, tahini,
 seasonings, sesame seeds, sunflower seed meal, and corn meal. The batter
 should be thick not wet--add flour if needed.
  Preheat oven to 375. Oil a cookie sheet. Using a tablespoon, make patties
 and place them on the sheet.
  Bake for 8 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
