SOYA GRANULE PATTIES (Turkish,Vegetarian)




 


 


Ingredients  ( 16 patties )


1 cup soya granules     1 medium onion     1 egg     1 cup bread crumbs     


Plenty of chopped Italian parsley     1 tsp cumin     Salt, pepper     Vegetable oil for frying


Serving suggestion: Serve with mashed, crushed or oven-roasted potatoes, potato salad, French fries or croquettes.

 



Instructions


1.   Soak the soya granules in boiling water for half an hour. Drain and gently squeeze the liquid out of the soya granules. Set aside in a bowl.


2.   Chop the onion roughly and run it in a food processor until it turns into a pulp. You can also use the smaller, tear-drop shaped side of a box grater.


3.  Chop the parsley.


4.   Add the onion, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, cumin and bread crumbs to the soya granules.


5.  Mix and mince for a couple of minutes using your hands. If the mixture is too soft to handle, add more bread crumbs.


6.  Take walnut-size pieces of the mixture and roll them between your palm to make a ball. Flatten into a patty by pressing your palms gently. Continue until you use all of the mixture.


7.  Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. The oil should be hot but not smoking.


8.  Fry the patties 6-8 at a time. Turn over when one side is done to fry the other side.  Fry well. Unfortunately, there is no medium-rare with soya granule patties (or at least for me).


9.  Serve hot with your favorite potato side dish.
