Vegan Kofta ft. Field Roast Recipe

Author: Nada E. - one arab vegan
Recipe type: Main | Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Prep time:  10 mins | Cook time:  12 mins | Total time:  22 mins
Serves: Serves 2

Ingredients

2 Field Roast Fieldburger patties (or vegan burger of choice), quartered
1 small red onion, finely chopped
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise of choice
1-2 tbsp breadcrumbs or chickpea flour
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

1. Start by pulsing the burgers in a food processor until a crumbly texture is achieved.
2. Add in the remaining ingredients and blend on a slow speed, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until well combined. If using a blender, you may find it easier to transfer the burgers to a mixing bowl and combining the rest of the ingredients manually.
3. The mixture should be crumbly and wet but firm enough to form into small kofta fingers - add in breadcrumbs or a splash of water to adjust accordingly. Form into 8-10 fingers and set aside.
4. Pan-fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and crispy. You can also cook these in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes at 180 C.

Notes
For best results, try to use a vital wheat gluten or soy protein based patty, bean-based burgers are not ideal in this recipe.
