Veggie patties are becoming increasingly popular, both for their taste and their positive effects on the environment. By choosing vegetarian alternatives, we can all help reduce our meat consumption and take a step towards a more sustainable lifestyle. In this blog post, we will share our best tips for frying the perfect veggie patty using a frying pan from ONYX Cookware.
Ingredients for the perfect veggie patty
Ingredients are essential to achieving a tasty, well-cooked veggie patty. Here is a simple, nutritious recipe:
- 1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- 1 carrot (grated)
- 1/2 cup of rolled oats
- 1/4 cup of chopped parsley
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Preparing the veggie patty
Prepare the ingredients: Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas thoroughly. Finely chop the onion and parsley, crush the garlic, and grate the carrot.
Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they form a coarse paste. Add the remaining ingredients (except the olive oil) and mix thoroughly. For a more uniform consistency, you can use a food processor.
Shape the patties: Once the ingredients are well mixed, shape the mixture into patties. This recipe makes approximately 4 patties, depending on their size.
Frying the veggie patty
Frying is a crucial part of the process, and this is where our frying pans really come into their own.
Prepare the frying pan: Heat your ONYX Cookware frying pan over medium-high heat. Pans from ONYX Cookware are known for their excellent heat distribution, which ensures even frying.
Add the oil: Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil. The non-stick coating from ONYX Cookware means you do not need much oil to achieve perfect frying results.
Fry the patties: Place the veggie patties in the pan and fry them for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. The non-stick coating ensures that the patties do not stick, making them easy to turn and ensuring even frying.
Serving tips
Once the patties are ready, there are countless ways to serve them. Here are some ideas:
- Classic burger: Serve the veggie patty in a burger bun with fresh vegetables and your favourite dressing.
- Salad: Slice the patty and place it on a fresh salad with a delicious vinaigrette.
- Wrap: Wrap the patty in a tortilla with crunchy vegetables and hummus for an easy, healthy lunch.
