- 2 tsp minced or crushed garlic
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Ground black pepper and salt to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1 chili
- 12 roasted cashew nuts

- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, optional
For caramelised Onions
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- pinch rock salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Leafy greens like baby spinach, baby chard or baby kale. A mix of spring greens would be great here also.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Place a large piece of aluminium foil on a baking sheet, spray with oil, place the beets inside in a single row, and fold the foil over to cover completely. Crimp the edges of the foil to seal.
- Place the baking sheet and let it cool for 15 minutes, then open the foil and let the beets cool until they can be handled.
- Rubbing the skins off, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- Heat the olive oil in a wok or large sauce pan
- Add the garlic and rock salt. Add the beets and salt and saute for about five minutes
- Sprinkle on the lemon juice and set aside
Make the chipotle cashew hummus
- Place the garlic pods in a small piece of foil, roll up the foil into a ball, and roast with the beets, discard the skins and reserve the gooey garlic
- Place the chickpeas, cashew nuts, roasted garlic, child and salt in a food processor. Add enough water to make a smooth paste. If you're using the extra virgin olive oil, pout it in through the feed tube as the hummus is blending.
- Make the caramelised onions
- Add the caramelised onions and a pinch of salt. Dry fry for a minute, then add the ground black pepper.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions become golden brown and soft. Turn off heat and remove to a bowl.
Hiya, are the patties really working? How do you make them keep the shape? I think they need something like oats, chickpea flour or mashed chickpeas to bind them together. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteHi Monika,
ReplyDeleteyes the patties are working :)
You can use chickpea flour or cooked rice to bind them together.
