- 14 oz (400 grams) canned red kidney beans drained, mashed
- ⅓ cup chickpea flour
- 1 medium-sized onion finely chipped (~½ cup)
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.1 medium-sized onion, 2 garlic cloves
- Drain the red kidney beans and mash them in a bowl with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.14 oz (400 grams) canned red kidney beans
- Drain the jackfruit and shred it with your hands. For any firm core pieces, use a knife. Mix the shredded jackfruit with the mashed beans.14 oz (400 grams) canned young jackfruit
- Add chickpea flour, herbs, spices, and salt. Use your hands to combine everything until the mixture is firm and moldable. If it feels too wet, add a little more chickpea flour.⅓ cup chickpea flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon dried dill, ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties, about 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide and 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) thick, using about ½ cup per patty.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the patties for 4 minutes on each side, until they're golden brown and crispy.2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Notes
- Cooked patties can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated in a pan or oven.
- Use unripe jackfruit in brine, not the sweet syrup kind. Sweet jackfruit won't taste good in this recipe.
- Squeeze out as much water as you can from the jackfruit. You can use your hands or a nut milk bag. This stops the patties from being mushy.
- If the patty mix is too wet, add a little more chickpea flour until it feels like it will hold its shape.
- Press the patties gently with a spatula while frying, and don't put too many in the pan at once. This helps them get evenly brown and crispy.
- Try different herbs and spices like turmeric, marjoram, dried parsley or thyme to make the patties taste how you like.
- You can use cannellini beans, black beans, or pinto beans instead of red kidney beans
