Vegetarian Walnut Cutlet

A vegetarian walnut cutlet is a very unusual recipe. People who practice a vegan diet will surely enjoy this recipe. Others who haven’t tried it yet will be thrilled too.

Ingredients

• 250gr mixed walnuts – you can also use cashews, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc.
• 120gr fresh wholemeal bread, made into breadcrumbs
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil
• ½ pint vegetable stock
• 2 teaspoons yeast extract
• 1 medium egg (leave out the egg for a vegan version).
• 120gr fresh breadcrumbs
• Herbs of your choice, as you like them. I used fresh basil, oregano, and parsley.

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a pot and sweat the onions until they are golden but not brown.
2. Use a food processor to grind the nuts and mix with the breadcrumbs.
3. Heat the broth and yeast extract to the boiling point, add the herbs and mix with the nut and breadcrumb mixture.
4. Let cool a little and then add seasoning to taste. If you want to make the cutlets with eggs, now is the time to mix in the egg.
5. Make 6 burger patties out of the mixture and spread them lightly in the second batch of breadcrumbs.
6. Put the cutlets in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden.
7. When frying, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the cutlets on each side for 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
