Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 large head (750g) cauliflower, cut into large florets
  • 1/2 medium red onion, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 medium (50g) zucchini, finely grated
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 5 leaves fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • 1 large egg*
  • 4 Tbsp gluten free all purpose flour or regular all purpose flour
  • Salt & pepper, to season
  • 2-3 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil, to fry

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a steamer with water and bring to a boil.
  • Place cauliflower florets into steamer and steam for 10-15 minutes or until completely soft and ready to mash.
  • Remove cauliflower from steamer and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Using a potato masher or fork, mash cauliflower.
  • Place bowl with cauliflower in the fridge to cool down to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, add onion and garlic, mix well.
  • Add zucchini and mix well.
  • Stir through parsley and basil.
  • Add egg and mix until well combined. Sprinkle over flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to lightly coat the base.
  • Pick up approx. 2 tablespoons worth of mixture and form into a round patty. Place in hot pan. Repeat with remaining mixture. NOTE: you may have to cook the patties in batches depending on the size of your fry pan, topping up the oil when needed.
  • Fry patties for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden, crisp on the outside and cooked through.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  • Serve alongside a garden salad and roasted potatoes!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 2-3 days. *For vegan patties, replace egg with a flax egg. Or omit egg and add more flour until patties hold their shape.
