Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

1. Pulse the Peanuts: In a food processor, pulse the peanuts until they resemble a coarse meal (some chunks are fine).
2. Add Vegetables: Toss in the carrots and celery, along with fresh ginger and garlic if using. Pulse until finely chopped.
3. Mash the Beans: Add the white beans and pulse until half the beans are mashed.

Step 2: Mix It All Together

1. Transfer to a Bowl: Move the mixture to a large bowl.
2. Incorporate Other Ingredients: Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, agave, sriracha, peanut butter, sesame seeds, flaxmeal, and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
3. Add Flour: Gradually mix in flour until the mixture is moist but not too sticky. Adjust as necessary!

Step 3: Shape the Patties

1. Preheat the Oven: Set to 400°F (200°C).
2. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into patties (about 3 inches wide) and place them on parchment paper.
3. Bake or Fry: Brush with oil and bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for an additional 5 minutes or pan-fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden.

Step 4: Roast the Veggies

1. Prep Your Toppings: Slice butternut squash or sweet potatoes and pan-fry them for about 3 minutes. Cover and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes. Toss with sweet and sour sauce or BBQ sauce.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve
