Vegie Burgers and Apple Upside-down Pudding...

Loki loves helping me cook, and we love vegan food, so here's what we got up to yesterday....

  

Apple Upside-down Pudding

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar

1-2 sliced apples

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup self raising flour

Grease or line a round cake tin. spread brown sugar over the bottom then arrange sliced apples on the sugar. In a mixing bowl whisk together all other ingredients until well combined then gently pour over apples and sugar. Bake at 170C for about 45 mins. Let cake sit in pan for 5 mins then turn out onto serving plate.

We didn't have brown sugar so just used white, so it didn't turn out quite as nicely as it should have, hence the rough edges. But we served it warm with yummy stewed apples, was delicious!

While our pudding was in the oven i lost our little helper to Bob the Builder, lol, but got to work on some chickpea patties to have in our vegie burgers for lunch.

Chickpea Patties

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas

2 tablespoons wholemeal flour

1 onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 teaspoon fresh chopped herbs (we use parsley and Thyme)

Drain and rinse chickpeas, then mash in a mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix together. Make into four patties, lightly coat with flour and fry on a low heat in a little oil for about 5-8mins each side.

These ones are a bit darker than usual because I used a really thick soy sauce, not the one we usually use.

Serve with salad and cheese if you wish, in a crispy bread roll with some tomato sauce.

Were our burgers and pudding a hit?

I think so!
