Vegetable patties gaining popularity among all eaters

Vegetable patties have been a strong trend for several years now. They are lighter than meat ones, and their flavour can be significantly delightful since the recipes improve yearly! Vegetables pair wonderfully with many aromatic additions and spices. Additionally, their preparation takes just a moment!

Patties made from vegetables have been favorite treats for vegetarians for years. Every year, they also win the palates of those who eat meat. They are simply a universal dish that everyone likes.

Patties can be made from many vegetables, but cauliflower is certainly one of the more popular ones. Cauliflower patties have long been known in vegetarian cuisine, but recently, the recipes have been significantly modernized. While the cooked vegetable was primarily combined with eggs in the past, many more additions now result in an interesting, deep flavour of the patties.

We are slowly moving away from thinking of cauliflower merely as a vegetable that is boiled and served with breadcrumbs. It offers many more possibilities. Increasingly popular is roasted cauliflower, which comes from Middle Eastern cuisine. The second most mentioned is cauliflower patties in steaks and famous ground patties. When cauliflower is roasted, its flavour changes, becoming sweet and salty with slightly nutty notes.

Ingredients:         

• 540 grams of cauliflower florets,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• a few sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped,
• 3 tablespoons chopped parsley,
• 2 eggs,
• 1 teaspoon salt,
• half a teaspoon of black pepper,
• half a teaspoon of curry,
• a pinch of turmeric,
• 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs,
• breadcrumbs for coating,
• oil for frying,
• 1 tablespoon wheat flour.

Preparation Method:   

1. Boil the cauliflower for 10 minutes. Then, mash it in a food processor or with a potato masher.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and the garlic pressed through a garlic press, and mix until combined. If the mixture is too runny, add 1 tablespoon of wheat flour or some breadcrumbs.
3. Form small patties and coat them in breadcrumbs. Then, fry them in oil over medium heat until golden brown. Place the fried patties on a paper towel to remove excess fat.
