We are always looking for ways to make our vegan cooking wholesome but savory, incorporating as much goodness into it as flavor. These do not disappoint! They go well as a sidekick to anything you might want to pair them with and are excellent in sandwiches and to replace veggie burgers.
1 cup barley grain (not pearl barley but whole grain barley, cooked till soft, reserve 1/2 cup water where you cooked the barley)
3/4 cup oats1/2 cup cracked wheat (cooked, follow package instructions)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
14 cup sesame seeds raw
3 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
1/8 cup sweet red pepper strips
1/8 cup sweet red pepper strips
1 medium tomato
1/2 red onion chopped
Salt to taste
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. olive oil + more to cook with
In a food processor or blender process the barley, cracked wheat and the vegetables with some of the barley water till you have a smooth paste. Scrape into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, mixing well until you have a dough that is neither too stiff nor too runny. Heat a skillet that is barely painted with olive oil and drop the dough into it by large spoonfuls and cook on both sides till golden brown.
These sound like a great way to get a protein boost in pasta or stirfry or salad. They would be excellent on a sandwich too!
ReplyDeleteYES, +KimmytheVegan, they would also be delicious, cut in small pieces and added to scrambled tofu. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! Much healthier than any store-bought meat replacements. I bet my husband would love these for his sandwiches.
