Good high calorie and high vitamin and mineral alternative to soy patties and super fast and easy... This recipe can also act as an alternative falafel ball for sandwiches, as a nut/seed vada eat with coconut or cilantro chutney.
Serving 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 cup unsalted sunflower seed kernels
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 2 green chili peppers chopped finely
- 6 spinach leaves
- 1 egg --- working on a substitute
- salt and pepper to taste... and/or any other seasonings
Directions:
Prep Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
1. Grind the raw hulled sunflower seeds in a food processor to get a paste ... NOT butter.
2. Add spinach to give color and help the grinding process, do not add water.
3. Mix the egg into nut/seed mixture and blend. Season with salt and pepper if you wish.
4. Heat the oil in a skillet. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls of Spinach-sunflower mixture onto pan, flatten with your spoon if necessary, and cook till you see browning around the edges. The patties should hold together. OR you can do this in your hand. Turn and cook on the other side. Enjoy!
