Ingredients

• 200 g tofu, firm and well drained
• 150 g chickpeas, cooked and drained
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 EL soy sauce
• 1 EL mustard
• 1 TL smoked paprika powder
• 1/2 TL black pepper
• 1/2 TL salt
• 100 g rolled oats
• 2 EL ground flaxseeds mixed with 6 EL water (flax egg)
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Crumble the tofu with your hands or a fork until it has the consistency of ground meat.
2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the crumbled tofu, chickpeas, onion, garlic, soy sauce, mustard, paprika powder, pepper, and salt.
3. Add the rolled oats and the flax egg and mix everything thoroughly until the mixture binds well and is shapeable.
4. Form small patties from the mixture. Depending on the size, you should get about 10–12 patties.
5. Heat enough oil in a pan and fry the patties on both sides over medium heat until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side.
6. Drain the vegan meat patties on kitchen paper and serve warm. They go excellently with potato salad or a fresh green salad.
