What this vegan family ate today #4

Marble maize porridge for breakfast. This was the first time I made it and it was a hit !!! Kids loved it,

Make a pot of maize meal porridge, ensure it's GMO free !! Dish up in a bowl. Put a few blobs of peanut butter and date paste on  top, allow few minutes for it to sort of melt. Then gentle give it a few stirs, just enough to get a marble effect. Top with banana, dates and coconut sugar ... devour ;)

Morning snack was freshly made carrot juice.

Lunch was black bean burgers. I've been experimenting with vegan patties and this is the BEST one ever. Whole family loves them. I made a big batch, and kept the bean mix in fridge to make patties the next day.
Oh my soul these were sooooooooooo gooooooooood !!!!!

Black bean patties recipe :

500g black beans ( soaked and cooked and cooled )
1kg oven baked sweet potato (peeled, roughly mashed and cooled)
2 cups oats ( give it a quick blend in the blender till a coarse flour)
2 onions chopped fine and fried
1 cooked potato grated ( any veg works well, like marrow, broccoli, carrot ...)
2 tablespoons of kelp powder ( optional ) ... spice as you prefer
Salt
Refrigerate till cold, about hour or two

Give it a good mix, roll in to balls, flatten and coat with CHICKPEA flour !!! I've tried a few other flours and I tell you chickpea flour is awesome !!! I bough some at Woolworths.
And pan fry till golden brown on each side.
I think it will bake well as well, but I haven't tried it.

These patties stay beautiful after cooking and nice to pack in a lunch box, they are even yummy cold.

Afternoon snack was rice cakes with date paste, coconut sugar and choc chips.

For supper we had more of the patties but this time wrapped in salad leaves and avo.
