Farro Veggie Cakes - Mini Burger Patties

🧂 Ingredients

• 7 oz farro verde

  or other cracked grains
• 400 ml vegetable broth
• 1 onion

  finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic

  finely chopped
• 1 large carrot

  grated (optional)
• ½ bunch parsley

  chopped
• 2-3 tbsp flaxseed flour

  or 3-4 tbsp oat flour
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1-2 tsp yellow mustard

  medium hot
• salt and pepper

  to taste
• 3 tbsp breadcrumbs

  or ground nuts or seeds
• vegetable oil

  for frying

Instructions

• 1 Bring the vegetable broth and farro to a boil in a saucepan. Then turn off the
  heat and allow to soak for 15-20 minutes (or according to package directions)
  until tender.
• 2 Meanwhile, finely grate the carrot and finely chop the parsley, onion and
  garlic.
• 3 Heat about 2 tsp of oil in a small pan and sauté the onion for about 2-3 minutes
  until translucent. Then add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
• 4 Add cooled farro, carrots, parsley, onion, garlic, nutritional yeast flakes,
  tomato paste, mustard, a little salt and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle with
  flaxseed flour and knead everything until it forms a dough. Taste and adjust
  seasonings if necessary. Cover the bowl loosely with a cloth and let it rest for
  at least 20 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator) so that the flaxseed
  flour can swell (if the mixture is still too soft after chilling, you can add
  some flour, ground oats or breadcrumbs).
• 5 Lightly moisten your hands, form approx. 12 patties of 60-65 g each from the
  mixture and roll them in breadcrumbs.
• 6 Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and fry the patties over
  medium-high heat for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy (do
  not flip the patties too soon or they may fall apart! Once the bottom is golden
  brown and crispy, you can flip them easily).
• 7 Serve the patties on lettuce with dill pickles and sprinkle with parsley, if
  desired. They are perfect as a side dish for potato salad
