Form the Cakes: Shape the mixture into 6–8 small patties. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.

Step 4/5

Chef's Tips & Notes

Lightly coat patties with almond or tigernut flour before frying for extra crunch.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.

Excellent over a salad or tucked in a lettuce wrap.
