Carrot Sesame Patties

Serves 8

Prep time 30 minutes

Cook time 30 minutes

 

What you need

3 Carrots (grated)

330 grams Chickpeas (cooked, drained and rinsed)

1 Sweet Onion (diced)

2 tablespoons Tahini

2 Garlic (cloves, minced)

½ teaspoon Cumin

1 Egg

½ cup Oats

½ cup Almond Flour

4 tablespoons Sesame Seeds

Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)

2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

180 grams Baby Spinach

1 Avocado (peeled and sliced)

60 grams Goat Cheese (crumbled)

 

What to do

Place grated carrot, chickpeas, onion, tahini, garlic, cumin and egg in food processor and blend until a creamy consistency forms. If needed, add 1 tbsp of warm water to loosen mixture up. Transfer into a large mixing bowl.

 

Add in oats, almond flour and sesame seeds into mixing bowl. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Mix well with a spatula or clean hands.

 

Form mixture into even patties with your hands. If mixture seems too moist, add in some extra oats to firm it up. Place patties on wax paper. (Store in the freezer if not cooking right away.)

 

When ready to cook, heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in skillet for about 8 minutes per side or until golden brown.

 

Serve on top of a bed of greens topped with avocado slices and goat cheese.

 

Enjoy!
