BRYANNA’S Carrot-Oat Patties
makes 10 patties
From Bryanna's cookbook 20 Minutes to Dinner.
A note from Bryanna: I used to be very fond of Walnut-Oat Burgers, a popular recipe that originated in Seventh Day Adventist circles, but they were quite high in fat. These tasty patties are quite similar in flavor, but much lower in fat-- and very inexpensive to make.
A food processor makes this recipe very easy to assemble; otherwise, you can hand-grate the onions and carrots fairly quickly.
Ingredients:
2 large onions, minced or coarsely-grated
1 c. quick oats
1 c. fine fresh wholewheat breadcrumbs
1/4 c. soy flour OR chickpea flour
1 T. tahini
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. EACH dried thyme, crumbled sage, marjoram and garlic granules
1 c. minced or grated carrots
1/3 c. hot water
1 T. soy sauce
Directions:
In a lightly-greased or nonstick skillet, steam-fry the onion until soft. In a large bowl mix the oats, breadcrumbs, soy flour, tahini, salt, and seasonings. Add the steam-fried onions, minced or grated carrots, hot water, and soy sauce.
Mix the ingredients well and form the mixture into 10 thin patties. Cook the patties on a nonstick or lightly-oiled skillet over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes per side, covering the pan while cooking the first side.
Serve the patties hot with ketchup or gravy, or on buns, like burgers. They are also excellent cold.
