This recipe has been stolen from Matt Frazier at nomeatathlete.com but I justify my theft by pointing out that it is so good, so versatile and so easy that it deserves to be seen as far and wide as possible. It's not even a recipe really, it's more like a formula that you can adapt to suit whatever ingredients you have in the cupboard and the fridge.
Go you good thing!
Go you good thing!
1 can of beans or chickpeas (don't forget to drain the bean water and make mayonnaise!)
1/2 cup chopped onion
Chopped garlic to taste – somewhere between 1/2 and 6 cloves depending on your vampire repelling requirements
2 cups diced, mixed veggies (For example corn, peas, zucchini, sweet potato, celery, mushroom, spinach, kale, artichoke.... anything you like)
Oil for frying
3 Tbs liquid flavouring (mix and match anything that floats your boat... mustard, ketchup, soy, teriyaki, balsamic etc)
4 Tsps spice (make it compatible with liquid flavourings and combine at least two... pepper, cumin, italian dried herbs, smokey paprika etc)
Salt to taste
1 cup dry ingredients (breadcrumbs, cornmeal, oatmeal etc)
1/2 cup texture ingredients (nuts, seeds, sun dried tomatoes, fresh herbs etc)
Fry onion, garlic and veggies until partially softened. Throw everything except the dry and texture ingredients into a food processor and blend until combined. Then carefully add those in and pulse conservatively until mixed.
With wet hands form into small palm sized patties. You can fry, grill, barbecue or bake them. They will take about 4 mins each side to fry or barbecue and about 10 mins each side to bake or grill.
