INGREDIENT NOTES:
SPINACH:
- It provides the color, vitamins, and texture in the dish. Fresh spinach gives the moisture content and make the patties soft. Utilize the frozen spinach instead if required, but defrost it and squeeze the water before use.
VEGAN FETA CHEESE:
- Use the vegan feta cheese to provide a real tangy and salty taste. It will also make the dish creamy and provide an indulgent texture. Use the tofu crumbs with lemon juice and salt instead of feta cheese.
ROLLED OATS:
- Use the rolled oats to bind the mixture. They will provide the moisture content and also soak the moisture well to form the shape. Use the almond flour or oat bran instead for this purpose.
CHICKPEA FLOUR:
- Use the chickpea flour to bind these patties and also provide the protein content in the dish. Wheat or oat flour is the best alternative for this use.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST:
- Use the nutritional yeast to add a savory and cheesy taste without using the real cheese. This will also boost the flavor of this dish. Use the vegan parmesan cheese instead if required.
GARLIC:
- Use the garlic to add the savory aroma and taste to this dish. It should be fresh to provide a strong taste. Don’t use the bottled garlic paste as the results will not be same.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Use the black pepper and salt to prepare this dish. Black pepper will add a light spice, and salt will enhance the overall flavor profile.
