Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower
- 1 cup (100 grams / 3.5 ounces) ground almonds
Binding and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 3–4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Cooking Ingredient:
- Oil for frying
Vegan Tartar Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 avocado, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 4–6 pickles, chopped
- 70 milliliters (5 tablespoons) dairy-free yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower by breaking it into small florets and submerging them in boiling salted water for exactly 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool completely.
- Grate the cooled cauliflower using a box grater or food processor to create fine, uniform pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cauliflower with psyllium husk, ground almonds, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow ingredients to bind.
- Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking, then shape the mixture into compact patties, ensuring they are evenly sized and firmly pressed together.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a light coating of oil. Carefully place the patties in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- While patties are cooking, prepare the vegan tartar sauce by combining diced avocado, chopped pickles, dairy-free yogurt, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve the hot cauliflower patties immediately with the chilled tartar sauce on the side, accompanied by a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Drain cauliflower thoroughly to prevent soggy patties, using a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
- Experiment with herb combinations like dill, parsley, or thyme to elevate the flavor profile of your patties.
- Toast ground almonds briefly before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and add depth to the recipe.
- Use a silicon spatula or wet hands when forming patties to prevent sticking and create uniform shapes.
