Cauliflower and Bean Patties

I have a mad keen affair with cauliflower at the moment … I can’t seem to get enough of it!  But the beauty about this recipe, is that everyone in the family loves it too!  Great for dinner or lunch … or just a snack!

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 garlic cloves peeled
• 300 g cauliflower florets
• 400 g tin cannellini beans drained and rinsed
• 30 g baby spinach leaves or Italian parsley
• 100 g sourdough breadcrumbs or bread of choice
• 80 g wholemeal spelt flour
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes or chili flakes if you prefer
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp sea salt flakes
• ¼ tsp baking powder
  
• Quinoa flakes for coating patties optional
  
  
• Coconut or olive oil for shallow frying
  
  
• TO SERVE
  
  
• Sour cream mixed with a little ground cumin and ground coriander freshly chopped Italian parsley, salt and pepper

Method

 

1. Prepare your breadcrumbs first if you don’t have any (see note above) … put aside
2. Place garlic into TM bowl and chop 3 seconds / speed 7
3. Add the rest of the ingredients except the quinoa flakes and mix 5 seconds / speed 7 with the aid of the spatula
4. Stir mix around, and repeat for another 5 seconds / speed 7
5. Mix should stick together when pressed with your fingertips … check for seasoning and adjust if necessary
6. Place mix in a separate bowl (I find it easier to shape the patties from a different bowl instead of from the TM bowl)
7. Place quinoa flakes into another small bowl if using
8. Shape patties using a 1/3 cup measure, or whatever size measure you prefer
9. Drop each patty into the quinoa flakes, lightly pressing the flakes into them
10. Put aside onto a tray
11. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
12. Heat chosen oil in a large pan
13. Pan fry the patties for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until nice and golden
14. Serve with the sour cream sauce, and a large green salad

Notes

If you don’t have any pre-made breadcrumbs, put 100g of bread of choice into your TM (cut into cubes) and chop 10 seconds / speed 6
