How to prepare nut cutlets

  • Finely chop the onion, garlic and chilli (if using dried or fresh chilli) and gently cook in a little olive oil until soft.
  • Place the chopped nuts, fresh white breadcrumbs, cooked onion, garlic and chilli, oregano, and paprika and mix. If you are using chilli powder add a pinch to the other dry ingredients at this stage. Season with salt and pepper and mix.  
  • Add the egg to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Divide into four equal portions and form into burger shapes.
  • Sprinkle some dried breadcrumbs on a large plate and coat each of the patties.

How to cook nut cutlets

  • The nut cutlets can be shallow fried or oven baked.
  • To shallow fry - heat a small amount of oil in a pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden. 
  • To bake - preheat the oven to 180℃, 350℉, gas mark 4. Brush each side of the cutlets with olive oil, place on a baking tray and cook until golden on each side. Turn over part way through the cooking time so that they cook evenly. 

Notes
