Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium-size baking potatoes (1 pound), well scrubbed
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced onion
1 medium-size tomato, peeled, seeded and diced
Vegetable stock, if necessary
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 egg whites from large eggs
3 tablespoons nonfat milk
1/2 to 3/4 cup dried bread crumbs
Red-pepper coulis (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes until tender.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, slowly cook the celery, carrots, onion and tomato until they are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If the tomato is not juicy, add a little vegetable stock.
  • Add the peas, basil, cumin, turmeric and pepper flakes. Mix, then set aside to cool.
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together the egg whites and milk.
  • Scrape the potato flesh from the skins, and mash until smooth. Stir the egg-white mixture into the potatoes. Then combine the mixture with the vegetables, and mix thoroughly.
  • Form the mixture into 12 patties, and dip lightly on both sides into bread crumbs.
  • Spray one or two large nonstick skillets with a vegetable-oil spray, and saute the patties until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup of the red-pepper coulis over each of six plates, and set the vegetable cakes on the sauce. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my vegetable cakes turned out really dry. The red pepper coulis was good, though.

These vegetable cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred them baked instead of fried.
