Vegan “fish”cakes

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus 15 minutes’ standing time

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, crushed
50 g red onion, chopped
50 g oats
30 g walnuts, lightly toasted
1 T red wine vinegar
1 T soya sauce
1 x 400 g butter beans, can, drained and rinsed
Woolworths Loma Linda Tuno, drained
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
40 g chickpea flour
½ cup oil
rocket, to garnish

Method

1. Process the garlic and onion in a food processor until fine. Add the oats, walnuts, vinegar and soya sauce. Process until the texture of breadcrumbs.

2. Add the beans and process until almost smooth. Turn the thick paste into a bowl, then stir in the Tuno. Season and allow to stand for 15 minutes.

3. Coat large spoonfuls in the chickpea flour, flattening to form cakes. Fry on both sides in shallow medium-hot oil until brown, firm and heated through – a few minutes a side. Garnish with rocket.

Cook's note: Woolies’ plant-based seafood alternative, available in cans, works well in these cakes.
