How has your week
been? I hope not too busy. Mine was just fine with normal routines,
but today I'll need to do some Christmas shopping. I won't be buying
many presents this year, but just small trinkets to a few people. I'm
actually quite looking forward to it, as I haven't been to shops much
lately. Afterwards we will stop by at our favourite street food
market, which will be closing for the winter after this weekend.
Otherwise there aren't many plans, we will just try to take it easy.
I made a vegan
version of a beloved Danish food, frikadeller or frikadelles, which
traditionally are fried meat patties. I thought that they would be
nice with a bean and rice mix, as I once already tried vegan
frikadelles with lentils and rice. I used three types of broadbeans
in my frikadelles: whole dried ones, split dried ones and dried
broadbean crush. They were all of course cooked prior to making the
frikadelles. I'm not sure, if this is necessary, but I just happened
to have broadbeans in different shapes, and had to use some ends of
packets.
On the side I
served crispy roast potatoes and pan-fried brussels sprouts and
carrots. I again used the cabbage karma spice in the brussels
sprouts, which was very nice. So here is my recipe for the broadbean
and rice frikadelles.
Broadbean and rice frikadelles
Ingredients
½ cup rice
1 cup cooked
broadbeans
¼ cup cooked
split broadbeans
¼ cup cooked
broadbean crush
½ red bell pepper
fresh thyme
chilli powder
salt
black pepper
Vegetable oil for
frying
Method
Cook the rice and
beans and mix them together by slightly mashing the whole broadbeans.
Grate the bell
pepper and also add it to the mix.
Season the mix and
shape frikadelles from it. You can add a little bit of flour in case
the dough is too moist.
Cook the
frikadelles on both sides in hot oil until crispy on the outside.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThat plateful does look delicious and I like the idea of using broad beans like that.
