There are times when all I want is vegetables. I’ve done with meat and fish I just want to be renewed by healthy flavours, herbs and spices. These little Patties pack a punch of flavour from the cumin and coriander and a sweetness from the caramelising of the outside as they’re cooked. With a hint of chilli and the barely cooked herbs these are a perfect light lunch or snack slathered in a lightly curried dip.
RECIPE
- 1 Head of broccoli including stalk
- 3 spring onions
- 2 clove garlic
- zest Of one lemon
- 20 g Corriander
- 20 g Parsley
- ¼ teaspoon Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground corriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- ½ teaspoon Hot chilli powder
- 1 Egg
- 60 g Buckwheat flour
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- Grate the broccoli on a course grater or cut off the florets and place in a food processor, pulse until fine but not wet. Tip these into a bowl and put the chopped stem in the processor, pulse until fine but not wet, add to the bowl.
- Add all the remaining ingredients except the buckwheat flour and the olive oil, mix well. Then sprinkle in the flour a bit at a time until the mixture holds together when pressed into a ball.
- At this stage you can fry off a little of the mixture to test the seasoning, if you want. Take a tablespoon of the mixture in your hand and roll into a firm ball, press down to flatten into a pattie, set aside. Repeat for the remaining mix.
- Place the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and cook until just starting to brown about 5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. If baking place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 190c, 170c fan assisted, gas mark 5, 375f. Serve warm or cold with a dip.
These can be baked or fried, if baking set the oven to 190c, 170c fan assisted, gas mark 5, 375f.
If you put the florets and stalk in the processor together the florets will turn to mush before the stalk is processed and the mixture will be too wet to use. Pulse the stalk and florets seperately or grate on a course grater.
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 100 g Probiotic yoghurt
- 1 Red chilli
- 1 teaspoon Mild curry powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth, check for seasoning and serve

I hear you on finding yourself craving healthy yummy eats, am going through one of those times right now actually, green smoothies and salads are heavily featuring. Reckon these broccoli patties with curried avo dip would be the perfect addition to my green diet. Thanks GG! Cant wait to try. Yarm! 🙂
I’m on the green food too. Mr Glam has tried to join in but not with much enthusiasm! GG
What a different way to use broccoli…the patties have to be so tasty.
They are so easy and tasty, definitely worth a try. GG
This is so my type of food. We eat broccoli at least 3 times a week sometimes more often and it is great to have a new recipe to hand.
We eat a lot of it too, but fairly unimaginitively up until now. I trying out lots of new ways with veg. GG
Oh yes I’m there. They looks wonderful. I absolutely love this recipe!
Thanks Jac. So simple and so tasty. GG
GG I really want to make these this weekend. Do you definitely need the dip (it also sounds great but just wondering)?
No, you don’t need the dip, they’re very tasty on their own. GG
Yes, yes, yes – this is my kind of food. Love the combination of flavours and that dip sounds divine.
I’m like you in that I do love to interrupt my meat meals with a couple of vegetarian options. These broccoli patties with the curried dip look fabulous. This would be a wonderful family meal. I’d like to try these xx
Oooo, I do love the looks of these beauties! 🙂 I’d happily nosh on a platter of them. 🙂
They went pretty fast here! GG
I am still just staring at the gorgeous picture GG. But I agree with you bout sometimes just wanting veg and last night all we had was tomato soup. Stumbling and sharing.
Thanks Bintu. We’ve been eating much more veg recently and I feel much better for it. GG
These sound good but I bet that dip is the star of the show?
Well, the dip is a variation of Guacamole and who doesn’t love that? GG
I’m trying to imagine what these taste like and I can’t. I’m going to have them tonight. I must know. They sound so good!
You must tell me how they went. GG
Bookmarked for veggie teen – have some broccoli in the fridge right now.
Perfect, It takes no time to cook and really packs a punch. GG
