festive vegan beet patties

These Vegan Beet and Walnut Patties are a delightful and nutritious option for any festive gathering. With the earthy sweetness of beets, the rich texture of walnuts, and the fragrant notes of rosemary and thyme, these patties are perfect as an appetizer or a main dish. They are not only packed with flavor but also gluten-free and plant-based, making them suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences.

Ingredients Quantity
Cooked beets (peeled and chopped) 2 cups
Walnuts (chopped) 1 cup
Cooked quinoa 1 cup
Onion (finely chopped) 1 medium
Garlic (minced) 2 cloves
Fresh rosemary (chopped) 1 tablespoon
Fresh thyme (chopped) 1 tablespoon
Ground flaxseed 2 tablespoons
Water 6 tablespoons
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper ½ teaspoon
Gluten-free breadcrumbs 1 cup (optional)

Cooking Steps:

  1. Prepare the Flax Egg: In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water. Set it aside to thicken for about 5-10 minutes, which will act as a binding agent for your patties.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beets, chopped walnuts, cooked quinoa, sautéed onion and garlic, minced rosemary, and thyme. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  4. Add Binder: Once the flax egg has thickened, add it to the beet mixture along with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. If the mixture is too wet, gradually add gluten-free breadcrumbs until the desired consistency is reached.
  5. Form Patties: With wet hands, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty about ½ inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the formed patties onto a lined baking sheet.
  6. Cook Patties: In the same skillet used for the onions, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Carefully add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a serving platter. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a light meal.

Sweet and Savory Beet and Walnut Patties With Maple and Ginger

beet walnut patties recipe

Sweet and Savory Beet and Walnut Patties with Maple and Ginger are an innovative twist on traditional veggie patties, perfectly balancing the earthiness of beets with the warmth of ginger and the sweetness of maple syrup. These patties are not only delicious but are also packed with nutrients, making them an ideal choice for a wholesome, plant-based meal. They can be served with a tangy yogurt sauce or enjoyed in a sandwich, providing a satisfying experience for both vegans and non-vegans.

Ingredients Quantity
Cooked beets (peeled and chopped) 2 cups
Walnuts (chopped) 1 cup
Cooked brown rice 1 cup
Onion (finely chopped) 1 medium
Garlic (minced) 2 cloves
Fresh ginger (grated) 2 teaspoons
Maple syrup 2 tablespoons
Ground flaxseed 2 tablespoons
Water 6 tablespoons
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper ½ teaspoon
Gluten-free breadcrumbs (optional) 1 cup

Cooking Steps:

  1. Prepare the Flax Egg: Begin by mixing the ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens into a gel-like consistency, which will act as a binder for your patties.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion turns tender and translucent. Add the grated fresh ginger and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Mix Sweetness: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the maple syrup to add a sweet depth of flavor to the onion and ginger mixture. Allow this mixture to cool slightly before combining with other ingredients.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beets, chopped walnuts, cooked brown rice, and the cooled onion-ginger-maple mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure each ingredient is evenly distributed.
  5. Add the Flax Egg: Incorporate the thickened flax egg into the beet mixture, followed by adding salt and black pepper for seasoning. Mix everything well until the mixture is cohesive. If it feels too wet to shape, gradually add gluten-free breadcrumbs until you reach a good consistency for forming patties.
  6. Shape the Patties: With damp hands to prevent sticking, take portions of the mixture and mold them into patties about 1 inch thick. Make sure they are compact enough to hold together during cooking.
  7. Cook the Patties: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm with a side of tahini sauce or in a pita with fresh vegetables for a delicious meal. Enjoy!
