Veggie Cakes You Can't Say No To

I've had a craving for a veggie Pattie for quite a while. Typically we throw them on a bun and have veggie burgers, but tonight I wanted to cut out bread and extras. That meant the Pattie itself really had to shine! And this recipe did not disappoint. I used ingredients that I had in my fridge and this Pattie was created.

Start early with your garbanzo beans. I never use canned although I suppose you could. But I just open a 1 lb bag and pour it in the crock pot with water and let it do its thing throughout the day. 

Enough of my talking. Here's what you came for.

Ingredients:

1lb Garbonzo beans

1/2 cup shredded carrots

2 cups rice

1/2 cup corn

1/2 cup frozen or fresh kale

1 romaine tomato

1/2 white onion

1 TBSP Chili Powder

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

Sauce:

1/4 cup sour cream

2 TBSP lemon juice

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Make: 

1. Cook Garbanzo beans for 5 hours.

2. Saute shredded carrots in pan with brown sugar and lemon pepper.

3.Add onion, tomato, kale, and corn to the pan and saute.

4. Once sauteed add in your spices and rice.

5. Add your sauteed vegetables, rice and garbonzo beans to a bowl and mix together.

I typically use between 2-3 cups of garbonzo beans and save the rest.

6. Pulse the mixture in a food processor or blender a cup or two of the mixture at a time.

7. Place the pulsed mixture to a new bowl and mix in the eggs.

8. Form into patties ( I use a half cup measuring cup to form it dump on the pan and press gently to get the best Pattie shape)

9. Cook like you would a beef pattie.

10. Combine all of the ingredients for your sauce in a small bowl and enjoy your meal.
