The bean koftas are made with simple ingredients:

1. White beans – I chose cannellini, but any white bean will do ( I used canned )

2. Oats ( use certified gluten-free to make them GF )

3. Spices and herbs

THAT’S IT!

For the hummus, I used my easy healthy creamy Avocado Hummus….But you can have these koftas with any hummus you like!

Ingredients
  

  • 13 oz can/400 g white bean drained and rinsed
  • two ribs celery diced
  • 1 cup/100g of rolled oats use certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp of cumin
  • 1/2 tsp of dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 small shallot chopped
  • To serve:
  • Avocado Hummus or hummus of choice
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Sriracha Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 365F/190°C.
  • In a blender or food processor blitz together the beans, cellery, shallot, and spices. Don’t blitz too much, otherwise, it will be mushy. Leave a bit of chunk!
  • Transfer it to a bowl and mix it together with the oats.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and scoop a spoonful of the mixture into your hand and form the balls or patties, placing them on the baking sheet.
    If you are not bothered - you can drizzle them with oil, but I kept mine oil-free. They were still very crunchy!
  • Bake them for about 40 minutes, turning them at half time, so both sides will be evenly golden. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving, that will harden them a bit.
  • To serve, spread the Avocado Hummus on a bottom of a plate, top with the koftas, drizzle some sriracha and finish with a fresh parasley leaf.
