Garden Patties with Asparagus

It is not common to add vegetables such as asparagus to patties, but these came out extremely tasty, a wonderful surprise for us and a treat for those of you who are adventurous in the kitchen. Try them, they are worth it!

1 1/2 cups semolina
3/4 cup tapioca flour
3 slices whole wheat or whole grains bread, toasted and crumbled in a blender or food processor to form coarse bread crumbs
3 medium size potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
1 cup cooked asparagus, chopped
1 tomato, cut in chunks
1/4 cup each of sweet green and red peppers cut into strips
1 cup of oats
2 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder (if you are not a great onion lover, reduce this amount to 1 tsp.)
1 Tbsp. galic powder or to taste (1/2 tsp. for those who do not like their food too spicy)
Salt to taste
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning or herbs of choice
2 Tbsp. vegan chicken seasoning
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 cup water

In a food processor or blender, put the potatoes, carrot, asparagus, tomato, sweet peppers and the walnut pieces with the water and process till smooth. Scrape into a bowl and mix in all the other ingredients.

Heat a skillet that has been barely painted with olive or grapeseed oil and drop the mixture by large tablespoonfuls into the skillet and cook until golden on both sides.
Place on paper towels to drain any oilyness from them.
Enjoy!

Yield: Approx. 6, depending on size of patty.
