Instant Vegetable Patties Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Shape into four patties. In a large skillet, cook patties in oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add 1 3/4 cups water to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®, then stir in the lentils, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few good grinds of pepper. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. The lentils should be tender but not mushy. If there is any liquid remaining, drain the lentils in a fine-mesh sieve and discard the liquid.
• Meanwhile, place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to broil. Toss the onion, sweet potato, mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of the oil, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and browned in spots, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a food processor along with the lentils and oats. , Reserve the baking sheet. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses.
• Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon oil on the reserved baking sheet. Working on the baking sheet, form the lentil mixture into 4 large patties (each about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick). Refrigerate until chilled through, about 30 minutes.
• Using tongs, toss the coleslaw mix with the mayonnaise, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until combined; set aside.
• Broil the lentil-veggie burgers until they develop a nice crust and are charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Use a sturdy metal spatula to flip the burgers, then return to the broiler to lightly char the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Place a burger on each of the bottom bun halves, then top with the slaw, dividing evenly, and sandwich with the top bun halves.

Steps:

• In a 10" non stick skillet, combine the mush, stock, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring over medium high heat for 10 mins or until the mush release their liquid.
• Add the potatoes and broccoli, cook, stirring for 5 mins or until the broc is soft. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the swiss, parm, eggs, thyme and salt to the bowl. Mix well and form into small patties.
• Place the bread crumbs on a plate and dip the patties in the crumbs, patting to make sure the crumbs adhere.
• Wash and dry the skillet. Coat with non stick spray and place over med-high heat until hot. Add the patties, working in batches. Cook for 5 minutes Turn and cook for 5 more or until golden brown.
• Freeze on a tray for several hours. Pack in a plastic bag. Thaw overnight in fridge. Place in 12" skillet, cover and cook over med high for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Steam the beans and carrots, covered, until very soft, slightly salted water. Stir occasionally and make sure there is enough water to keep them from scalding until they are tender-soft.
• Drain off any excess water.
• Combine all ingredients except oil and combine well in a food processor or mash together by hand.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as per your preference. (You may add some green chillies or more garam masala if you prefer more heat, or more mango powder if you want it tangy).
• Divide into equal portions and shape into 3/4 inch patties, and chill for a few minutes to help them firm up better.
• Heat oil, add patties, and brown undisturbed for 1-2 minutes before flipping over.
• Cook for 1 minute periods on each side until they are crisp golden brown on the outside.
• If desired, garnish with lemon wedges and serve with a green dipping chutney on the side.
• (I have made this and included some leftover boiled mung dal in the potato mixture, which works rather well in this - I am sure any lentil would work equally great as well, it is a recommended addition).
