Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, process all the ingredients from beans till cumin powder until most of the beans are mashed. Move to a bowl. Add mustard, olive oil, lemon juice and nutritional yeast and mix.
In the processor, process cauliflower, carrots and cashews until crumbs. Add to the bowl and mix well.
Add breadcrumbs and mix. Use less or more crumbs/flour to get a soft and not too wet, but also not crumbly mixture. Shape into patties by packing into a 3.5 inch cookie cutter. Place on parchment lined sheet.
3 options to cook the patties.
1. freeze and grill. Freeze patties for 15 minutes. Spray oil on the patties. The patties get well set when chilled. Grill frozen patties for 3 to 4 minutes each side.
2. Par-bake and grill. Bake the patties for 20 minutes at pre-heated 400 degree F. Grill the par-baked patties also for 3 to 4 minutes each side. Refrigerate until ready to grill, if grilling later.
3. Bake the patties: Bake at pre-heated 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, then flip the patties and bake for 10-15 minutes.
