Creating crunchy patties from oat flakes
Patties made from oat flakes work wonderfully as meat-free accompaniments to a meal. Pair them with your favourite salad and a warm sauce such as a mushroom dressing, herb dressing or a garlic dip. Any of these choices will tantalise the taste buds. These patties also provide a way for those unenthusiastic about traditional oatmeal dishes to incorporate the healthy cereal into their diet. Moreover, oat patties are low-calorie, so you can enjoy them guilt-free.
The mixture for oat flake patties can be seasoned according to your liking. We suggest a simple selection, but feel free to enhance it with your favourite flavours. You could add grated carrot, sautéed mushrooms or fungi, zucchini or roasted peppers. The more colour, the richer the flavour. And of course, don't forget to toss in some fresh herbs.
