Sesame Patties

You can never have enough recipes for patties! They are among the most problem solving recipes we vegan make to substitute meat in our diet. These can be served alongside anything you want, from rice and beans to couscous! They also go tremendously well inside buns and for various sandwiches you might want to come up with. Enjoy!

3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
3 slices whole wheat bread
2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all purpose flour
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 stalk celery
1 large tomato
1 medium carrot
1 medium potato
1/2 cup sweet red pepper strips
1 medium onion (if you love onions, add 1/2 tsp. onion powder)
1 Tbsp. olive oil plus more
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp. coriander powder
3 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast (not baker's yeast!)
Salt to taste
3 Tbsp. sesame seeds
1 cup water

In half a cup of water, soak the bread and the oats till they are soft. In the meantime, peel the carrot and the potato and cut them in pieces. Cut the tomato in chunks, wash and slice the celery. Process all of these int he blender with the rest of the water till you have a puree.
Scrape into a bowl and add the oats and the bread and the rest of the ingredients, mixing well. The dough has to be a bit compact, not runny. If you see that the texture is runny, add more whole wheat flour, making sure it is not too stiff, but just soft but firm at the same time.
Form small patties and cook in a skillet barely "painted" with olive oil till golden brown on both sides.

Yield: 23 (if you don't make them too large)
