Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine soaked garbanzos, soaked soybeans, water, chopped Brazil nuts, salt, and onion powder in a blender and chop fine, or ground in a food chopper.
- Place the mixture in a bowl.
- Add rolled oats and let stand for 10 minutes to absorb moisture.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sprayed baking pan or electric skillet.
- Cover and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until nicely browned.
- Turn over the patties.
- Cover and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve with tomato sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce to the mixture. If you don't have Brazil nuts, walnuts or pecans work well as substitutes. Ensure that the garbanzos and soybeans are thoroughly soaked to achieve the right texture. If you're short on time, use canned garbanzos and cooked soybeans to speed up the process.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these patties warm, drizzled with your favorite sauce, such as a homemade tomato sauce. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables. For a delightful twist, try serving them alongside Kim Chee(Korean Pickles) for a flavorful contrast. They also make great sandwich fillers with lettuce and avocado.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through, maintaining their crispy texture.
