VeganMoFo: Quenelle di okara e verdurine

Ciao ciao Mofoers,

how is your MoFo going?

Today, I had to empty my fridge and freezer - I had been storing some frozen rice okara for ages and had to use it. 

As I mentioned last year, I'm not much of a cook and sometimes I blend everything together, especially when I use okara. So, in the end, some okara and vegetables quenelles popped out, and it was not that bad! ^_^

Here's my quenelles!

Ingredients

• 300-400 gr of rice okara (this is what I had, but you can use soy okara too)
• 1 aubergine/eggplant
• 2 courgettes/zucchinis
• 1 potato
• 2 carrots
• 1/2 veg stock cube
• 1 tsp of flax seeds
• breadcrumbs (just enough)
• a pinch of salt
• a pinch of paprika
• a pinch of black pepper

Directions

• Peel your aubergine, courgettes and potato, cut them into cubes and put them in a skillet with some water, just to soften them up. Then squash them a little bit, in order to remove some exceeding water.
• Add your rice okara and shredded carrots to the veggies, season them and cook it for a few mins.
• Add breadcrumbs and ground flax seeds.
• Now you can make your quenelles using 2 tablespoons in order to give them a sort of triangular shape - but you can make burgers or patties or balls or whatever your imagination suggests.
• Put them in a warm skillet and turn them around on each side.

Buon appetito!
