Curried Vegetable Patties


Curried Vegetable Patties (with or without Tuna/Salmon)

NOTE: This is how I make them, there are other methods on the TF forum.
Ingredients:

Vegies of your choice, I used:
1 finely diced capsicum (optional - I found it adds too much liquid)
1/2 - 3/4 finely diced cabbage
2 grated zucchini
6 finely diced mushrooms
1 carrot (optional if you haven't had your 3 serves for the week)
1 lot of Notatoes or Mashed/Blended/Puree Cauliflower
1 - 2 egg whites (optional)
1 Vegetable Stock cube (Optional) OR
1 Tablespoon of Curry Powder (Optional)

OPTIONAL: (depending whether you want to use your daily protein serve or not)

120g of Tuna or Salmon (Females) and/or 220g of Tuna or Salmon (males)

Method:

Place Vegies in a food processor to dice & slice.
Add notatoes to mix, add curry powder & combine.

Cover an oven tray in alfoil and lightly spray. Place a non-stick egg ring on the tray and fill it with mixture, making sure to make patties firm.
Remove egg ring and repeat until mixture is used.
Place in preheated oven at about 200c. Depending on your oven these can take between 40mins to an hour. Turn over half way through cooking.
I found that they don't harden that well, so I cooked them on a sandwich press.

You could add tuna or salmon to the mixture before cooking to get your protein serve for the day, otherwise you can eat these whenever you like to get your desired amount of vegetables (as long as you watch your carrot intake!)

If you're not adding any protein to these they are great for your lunch with a shake or make a great substitute for salad with your dinner.
