Ingredients You Need for Cauliflower, Broccoli and Quinoa Patties [Vegan]
How to Prepare Cauliflower, Broccoli and Quinoa Patties [Vegan]
- Cook the quinoa in boiling salted water or vegetable stock. Measure 1 cup and set aside. Add the chopped cauliflower, broccoli and jalapeño to your processor bowl. Pulse until you get a fine mince (not a paste). Then transfer into a bowl.
- Add the chopped green onion and mix with spoon. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, add the silken tofu and 1 tbsp olive oil. Mash with a fork until blended & smooth.
- Transfer the tofu mixture into the broccoli and cauliflower mixture. Mix with a spoon to combine.
- Add the nutritional yeast, ground golden flax, chickpea flour, psyllium husk powder and mix well. Add salt & pepper and other seasonings of choice.
- Add the cooked quinoa and mix to combine.
- Let the mixture stand for 20-30 minutes to thicken.
- Then, mix again with spoon and with clean hands, gather it in handfuls and squeeze the mixture here and there and everywhere. It should feel moist, textured and bind easily.
- Make small patties of approximately 1/4 cup in size, patting & pressing the mixture firmly between your hands.
- Lightly brush the sides facing up with olive oil. At this point you can refrigerate the patties in a covered container or on a flat dish covered with foil or a tea towel until you are ready to fry them. I often fry them later on in the day or even the next day or the day after. You can also freeze them
- For frying, place a flat-bottomed cast iron or stick-free pan on stovetop. Heat up about 3-4 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom. When the oil is heated through, lower the heat to medium. Cook/fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until crispy (they will be crispy on the outside and tender/textured on the inside). I fry them in batches of 4. If making many, stack the cooked patties on a dish and keep them warm in the oven set on a low heat while you fry the next batch.
- Serve as is or with a guacamole dip or hot sauce or whatever you prefer. Store uncooked or cooked patties in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cooked patties can be reheated in microwave or enjoyed cold. Uncooked patties can also be kept frozen.
Notes
For extra zap or flavor, add seasoning or a combination that you prefer. For example: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (e.g. oregano or thyme or rosemary), 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
