otah patties

Frozen otah is very versatile. I have to date used it in my cooking as follows:-
(a) baked / steamed on its own
(b) otah casserole
(c) otah pizza
(d) otah bread

I have now added another item to the list - otah patties.

Most patties require deep frying. However, I am not fond of deep frying as it makes our home smokey and it is not as healthy as baking. As such, I decided to create baked otah patties by adding Bisquick pancake and baking mix instead of plain flour or corn flour.

INGREDIENTS

2 pcs frozen otah
1 stick celery
1/3 green capsicum
1/4 red onion
1 small potato
1/2 small carrot
4 dried mushrooms (soaked)
4 button mushrooms
4 pcs cut young corn
4 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup green peas
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup Bisquick pancake and baking mix

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees celsius.

2. Cut the celery, green capsicum, red onion, potato, carrot, dried mushrooms, button mushrooms, young corn and cherry tomatoes into small slices. Add the green peas. Microwave these ingredients in some water for 5 minutes on High. Drain off the water.

3. Microwave the frozen otah for 3 minutes on High. Add the egg, salt, pepper and the other vegetables and mix well.

4. Add the Bisquick pancake and baking mix and stir until the Bisquick mix has been blended in.

5. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop the patties onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

6. Bake for 7 1/2 minutes on each side of the patties.
