Ingredients
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
½ teaspoon turmeric
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 egg whites from large eggs
3 tablespoons nonfat milk
½ to ¾ cup dried bread crumbs
Red-pepper coulis (see recipe)
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes until tender.
- Step 2
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.
- Step 3
Add the peas, basil, cumin, turmeric and pepper flakes. Mix, then set aside to cool.
- Step 4
In a small mixing bowl whisk together the egg whites and milk.
- Step 5
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.
- Step 6
Form the mixture into 12 patties, and dip lightly on both sides into bread crumbs.
- Step 7
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.
- Step 8
Spoon ¼ cup of the red-pepper coulis over each of six plates, and set the vegetable cakes on the sauce. Serve immediately.
