Curried Amaranth Patties

These curried amaranth patties are a vegan dinner option made with amaranth, beans, greens, oats, cilantro, chia seeds, and Indian spices. The amaranth helps the patties hold together and provides a whole-grain base, while ingredients like onion, garlic, spinach or chard, and beans add texture. Chia seeds bind the mixture, and spices like chili powder, coriander, ginger, cumin, and turmeric add warmth. The patties bake until firm and golden brown, making them perfect to serve with rice, curry sauce, or chutney. They can also be crumbled into a bowl or served on buns with plant-based mayonnaise mixed with chutney.

This recipe is from Linda Tyler's The Plant-Based Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook and can be stored in the fridge for a week or frozen. To make these patties, cook amaranth, sauté vegetables, mix everything together, shape the patties, and bake until firm. Serve them with rice, chutney, or curry sauce for a delicious and freezer-friendly meal.
