Chicken and Vegetable Patties

Preparation time: 15 minutes, cooking time: 5 minutes. Makes 4–6 patties

• 400g (14oz) lean chicken mince (ground chicken) or tuna
• 1–2 tablespoons tamari
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove crushed
• 1/2 cup chopped coriander (cilantro)
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 1 cup grated sweet potato (yam)
• Spelt or wholemeal flour to coat patties
• Small amount of butter or coconut oil

Place all the ingredients, except the spelt flour, in a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer the blended ingredients into a bowl. Shape into four or six burgers and toss lightly in the spelt flour.

Heat a little butter / oil and cook patties for 3–4 minutes each side. Alternatively brush patties with butter / oil and bake in the oven, turning once. Serve with steamed vegetables.
