Instructions
- Add the peanuts to a food processor and Pulse the peanuts until coarse meal(a few broken peanuts are fine, do not over process). Add carrots and celery (and ginger and garlic if using fresh)and pulse until finely chopped . Add the beans and pulse until half of the beans are mashed.
- Remove from the processor to a bowl. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, agave, sriracha, peanut butter, sesame seeds, flaxmeal(and ginger garlic paste if using paste form). Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust spice, sweet and salt. You might need salt if the beans were unsalted. Add 2 Tbsp flour and mix well. the dough should not be too sticky or too dry (slightly sticky, moist but not wet dough works best). Add more flour if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc. Shape into patties using a cookie cutter. Press 1/3 cup of the mixture into a 3 inch cookie cutter. Press to pack well then push through onto parchment to make 3 inch by 3/4 inch patties. Brush oil on top and bake for 20 mins at 400 F/ 200ºc. Flip and bake for 5 more minutes if needed. Brush with bbq sauce or hot sauces Or pan fry over medium heat with a bit of oil, until golden brown on both sides (2-3 mins per side)
- Roasted sweet potato or butternut squash: pan fry the sweet potato or butternut for 3 mins over medium heat. Cover with a lid and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked. Then toss with bbq sauce or sweet and sour sauce. For the picture I paired these with roasted butternut tossed in My sweet and sour sauce + sriracha and crunchy cabbage. See recipe note for sauce recipe. Other combinations could be roasted butternut or sweet potato cubes tossed in bbq sauce, mango cubes tossed in sweet bbq sauce. both of these enhance the flavors of the patty.
- To tone down the flavors of the patties, pair them with cole slaw, sriracha mayo or ranch dressing. Make it into a bowl with smaller patties, roasted veggies, lettuce or other crunchy greens, and sauces from above.
- Store: The patties can be refrigerated for upto 4 days. Reheat on a skillet or air fryer.
