How to Make Amaranth Walnut Patties

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chickpea miso paste and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the amaranth and salt.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the amaranth is cooked through.
  4. Transfer the cooked amaranth to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
  5. Add the chopped walnuts, onion, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and soy sauce to the amaranth. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  6. Gently mix in the creamed chickpea miso paste until the mixture is well combined and holds its shape.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Shape the amaranth mixture into 8 medium-sized patties.
  9. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
