Carrot cutlets (vegan)
Description
The first time I made these patties wasn't during Lent, but when we had a huge carrot harvest at our cottage. Unfortunately, a lot of the carrots weren't suitable for storage, so we decided to process them instead. Since then, I've often used this simple recipe for making vegetarian carrot patties. With the amount of ingredients listed, I make 6 patties. You can vary the flavor by adding garlic, fried onions, or different spices. Here I'm offering you a classic recipe for vegetarian carrot patties—you can then let your imagination run wild and improve it as you like. So, let's get started. Or rather—let's get to the carrots!
