Veggie Patties

15/11/2020 by Gina Leave a Comment

It is sometimes hard to get a good tasty veggie patty … so in this recipe I have included ingredients which provide lots of umami flavour:  dried mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes.

I have been making these patties for a couple of years, and decided last week it was high time that I shared the recipe.

The patties can be made with either oats, or plain sourdough bread, and the result is exactly the same.  I initially made them solely with oats, then one day I was low on my oat supply, so used my sourdough bread instead (cut into 2cm pieces) and quite honestly there was no difference in the end result.  So use either of these ingredients with confidence.

It is important that the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes are well drained, otherwise they will add unnecessary moisture to the mix.  That one step will help the patties to keep their shape well which is so important in a good veggie patty.

When I first starting making these patties, I wanted a mix that could be made in advance, and then keep well in the fridge so that they could be prepared on a Sunday for instance, but cooked on a Tuesday night.

I also wanted a patty that once cooked, would keep in the fridge for a good couple of days so that it could be used for lunches, or other meals.

These patties do all of the above and I feel sure you will really enjoy adding this recipe to your repertoire of “veggie” style meals.

Mushrooms rehydrating in hot water for 30 minutes then well drained
Garlic, parsley and carrot in ™ bowl …
… and chopped for 3 seconds, scrape around bowl …
… add seeds, oats or sourdough bread (cubed), and sun-dried tomatoes (well drained) …
… and chop for 10 seconds / speed 6
Mixture is placed into a large mixing bowl
Mushrooms, parmesan (already milled), beans and spring onions are added to ™ bowl …
… and chopped for 5 seconds on reverse
Egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and seasonings are added to ™ bowl …
… and mixed for 10 seconds on reverse
Mixture is added to seeded mix in bowl …
… and stirred well to combine
Patties are shaped using 120g mix per patty – but you can make them any size you like
Patties are placed onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, covered, and put into the fridge for a minimum of an hour, but can be as long as 2 days (place into a sealed container if keeping them for longer than an hour)
Patties are cooked on each side for three to four minutes …
… until nice and golden
Drain patties for a few minutes …
… before serving as desired

Serves: 9 large patties
Ingredients
  • 20g dried mushrooms
  • 200g hot water, just off the boil

  • 100g parmesan, cut into 2cm cubes

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 20g fresh parsley, lightly chopped
  • 100g carrot, peeled weight, cut into chunks

  • 70g pepitas and sunflower seeds, preferably toasted
  • 200g oats, or plain sourdough cut into 2cm cubes
  • 125g sun dried tomatoes, well drained

  • 400g tin cannellini beans, drained
  • 2 spring onions, white and green parts, roughly chopped

  • 1 x 60g egg
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 60g lemon juice
  • 2 tsp sea salt flakes, or 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • ½ tsp cracked pepper

  • Olive or coconut oil for frying
Instructions
MAKING PATTY MIXTURE

  1. Place dried mushrooms into a heat proof jug, add hot water, stir and soak for 30 minutes
  2. Drain mushrooms and pat dry well with kitchen paper
  3. Place parmesan into TM bowl and mill 10 seconds / speed 9, put aside
  4. Place garlic, parsley and carrots into TM bowl and chop 3 seconds / speed 7
  5. Scrape around bowl, add seeds, oats or sourdough, and sun-dried tomatoes and chop 10 seconds / speed 6
  6. Put mixture aside into a large mixing bowl (the one you will use to form your patties)
  7. To the TM bowl add drained mushrooms, milled parmesan, beans and spring onions and chop 5 seconds / speed 5
  8. Scrape around bowl, add egg, zest, lemon juice and seasonings and blend 10 seconds / reverse / speed 4
  9. Add TM mixture to the bowl with the seeded mix and stir well together to combine thoroughly

FORMING THE PATTIES

  1. Prepare a tray lined with baking paper for the patties
  2. Have a bowl with water nearby to slightly dampen your hands as you form the patties
  3. Divide the mixture into 120g portions (I use my digital scale for this, or use a ½ cup measure but the volume may be slightly different) and form mixture into patties
  4. NB: I form the mix into a round first, then I flatten it out with my hands into a patty shape
  5. Place patty onto lined tray and continue until the mix has been used up – you should get 9 patties using 120g mixture, but you can make them as large or small as you like
  6. Cover patties and place tray into fridge for an hour before pan frying
  7. NB: if you are keeping the patties for a couple of days before pan-frying, then place patties into a sealed container in the fridge (I use a large square flat Décor pastry container)

COOKING THE PATTIES

  1. When ready to fry, cover the base of your frying pan with oil of choice, and heat the pan to medium for a couple of minutes
  2. Whilst the pan is heating, prepare a tray with kitchen paper near by
  3. Place four or five patties into the pan depending on the size of your pan
  4. Fry three to four minutes until lightly golden, turn patty over and lightly press down on the top to flatten a touch, and continue cooking for another three to four minutes
  5. Remove patties from pan and place onto tray lined with kitchen paper
  6. Continue with the rest of the patties
  7. Serve as desired
  8. NB: once cooled, the patties can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to three days
Notes
It is important that the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes are well drained, otherwise they will add unnecessary moisture to the mix. That one step will help the patties to keep their shape well which is so important in a good veggie patty.

When I first starting making these patties, I wanted a mix that could be made in advance, and then keep well in the fridge so that they could be prepared on a Sunday for instance, but cooked on a Tuesday night.

I also wanted a patty that once cooked, would keep in the fridge for a good couple of days so that it could be used for lunches, or other meals.

These patties do all of the above so I feel sure they will become a favourite in your "veggie" style meals recipe file.

Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not a large cake (it’s baked in a 20cm round cake tin), but it is rich, dark and dense and a small slice is just perfect.

Here I have served it with a raspberry coulis as I had some in the fridge, and a dollop of fresh cream. But I have also offered a recipe for a “Coffee Cream” in the post to serve with the cake too.

This version is nut free (I have used toasted sunflower seeds), but you can also use almonds if nuts are not an issue in your home.

The cake is also dairy free, is very quick to make, and gives you eight serves similar to what you see in the post here:

Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … it is easy to make, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days.

I use a Thermomix to chop the carrots (it is quicker than trying to grate them), and I do like the chunky texture that gives me as opposed to “grating” which can sometimes make the carrot a little wet.

The dressing can be blended in a bowl if preferred, and the rest of the salad is prepared by hand so that I get plenty of texture.

This salad goes so well with just about any protein, and is a favourite in our home … with another hot spell fast approaching, this may be one that you would like to try:

Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its own and does not need icing, but I do try to minimise waste, so when I have little bits of leftover icing from other bakes (in this case Caramel Icing from a Sticky Date Cake I made a month ago, and White Chocolate Icing from the cupcakes I made last week) I put the leftovers into small containers in the freezer … then I can often combine two or three (in this case the two icings I mentioned) which will give me enough for what I need. So last night I took the two icings from the freezer and placed them in the fridge, then this morning I removed them from the fridge and put them on my bench to allow them to come to room temperature, they were then combined and used to dress this cake. It is such a great way to use us icing “scrapes”, and no-one else is the wiser 

Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Icing … requested for our number 2 son’s birthday today … these are so easy to make, and keep well for a few days at room temperature … but if it is really warm in your home (so that the icing may melt) then I would keep them in the fridge but remove them at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make things super easy for me, I decided to use up some chocolate leftovers from Christmas, so topped the cupcakes with a packet of mini Cherry Ripe’s (one of my favourite), and Nespresso Dark Chocolate tablets (they are super yummy too!) xo

Recipes for both can be found here:

Happy birthday dear Sam … love having you in our lives xo
