Veggie Carrot Feta Patties with Herbed Quark Dip

Carrot feta patties are a wonderful vegetarian alternative to classic meatballs. The carrots are grated, mixed with feta cheese,, eggs, oats & spices, then formed into small patties & fried in oil.

For those who want to eat less meat or just like to try vegetarian dishes, this is the place for you. The patties taste just as good cold as they do warm. Have fun imitating! I wish you lots of fun cooking 😉

Instructions:




…for Carrot Feta Patties with Herbed Quark Dip:

For the herb quark, wash the chives and parsley, then finely chop or cut into fine rolls. Put the chopped herbs together with 250 grams of quark, 3 – 4 tablespoons of yoghurt, a dash of oil& white wine vinegar as well as a good pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir together, then set aside until ready to serve.

For the carrot feta patties, peel 500 grams of carrots & grate finely with a grater, then put the grated carrots in a mixing bowl. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves, then add both to the carrots in the mixing bowl.

Finally, put 2 large eggs, 100 grams of tender rolled oats & 200 grams of crumbled feta cheese into the mixing bowl & season everything with a very good pinch of salt & pepper and ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika powder. Mix all ingredients well together until all ingredients are evenly distributed & then form 8 – 10 patties with your hands.

Tip: Squeeze the patties together well so they don’t fall apart while frying in the pan. Use plenty of oil when frying, the bottom of the pan should be well covered with oil & don’t turn the patties too quickly.

Heat up a large pan with plenty of oil & gradually fry the patties over medium to high heat for 4 – 5 minutes per side until golden brown, turning once carefully. Lift the finished patties out of the pan & drain on kitchen paper. Dish up the patties together with herbed quark (alternatively, you can also serve them with a garlic dip) on plates & serve. Have fun cooking!
