Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 210°C, then combine a grain, bean and some vegetables in a large bowl and mix well.
  2. Add a binder and mix until you can easily form a patty.
  3. Season with herbs and spices and taste to make sure it is just slightly over-seasoned.
  4. Form the patties and place them on a non-stick pan or baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the patties are a bit crisp around the edges. Remove them from the oven and flip over.
  6. Continue to bake for 5-10 additional minutes, or until the center of the patty feels firm.
  7. Cool any leftover patties to room temperature, place a piece of parchment paper in between each one and freeze.
  8. To reheat, simply pop them in a hot oven to heat through.
