Vegan Receipe - 'Purple Mosaic'' - Purple Cabbage Pancake Patties

This is a receipe for gluten free red cabbage veggie burgers/fritters/patties made from yellow corn flour. 

Here they are served with a salad of fresh tomatoes, coriander, onion, lettuce and red cabbage with a beetroot sauce/dressing.

This receipe was inspired by the many mosaic murals dotted around San Jose in Costa Rica!

This delicious vegan meal is ideal for lunch or dinner, its super tasting and filling without making you feel heavy!

To make the sauce you will need:

• Beetroot x1 small
• Tomatoes x3 small
• Garlic x5 cloves
• Carrot x1 small
• Pink Salt

Pulse then blend until all the vegetables have completely broken down, it will have a nice texture as seen in the pictures above.

To make the veggie burgers/fritters

I tend to make my food by eyeballing the ingredients so adjust ingredients according to taste.

○Yellow corn flour x1 cup (Juana Brand, Maiz Coscado)
○Pink Rock Salt
○Black Pepper 

To make the yellow corn flour vegetable patties.

Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.

Grind in some pink sea salt.

Grind in some black pepper.

Pour in some water little by little and form a dough. 

 

You then need to add in some chopped cabbage. i forgot to take the picture of what it looked like while I was mixing the cabbage in with the flour.

However you can see what they looked like before I fried them further below.

When mixing the flour you can always add more water or corn flour if initially it's too wet or too dry. 

You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then split into sections and roll into a ball with your hands.

 

Place the balls on a plastic surface (like a freezer bag) and squish with your the palm of your hands then peel off and theh should look like the picture below.

Heat up some oil and fry the patties on each side until they are a light golden brown and serve with a fresh salad like the one below. 

Alternatively you could serve them with roast or sauteed vegetables but as I´m high raw I like to have at least 50% of the majority of my food uncooked.

Could´nt finish this post without some more food porn shots!
