Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the peeled carrots into chunks and place them in a medium saucepan with 3-4 inches of water.
  2. Steam the carrots over medium heat for 15 minutes until they are soft and tender.
  3. Drain the carrots well and mash them thoroughly using a potato masher.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add minced garlic, diced onions, diced celery, and diced green peppers to the skillet.
  6. Sauté the vegetables for about 7 minutes until they begin to soften.
  7. Stir in tamari, basil, garlic powder, parsley, and oregano.
  8. Sauté for 2 more minutes until the vegetables are fully soft and fragrant.
  9. In a large bowl, combine the mashed carrots, sautéed vegetables, tahini, and peanut butter.
  10. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  11. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  12. If the mixture is too wet to hold together, gradually mix in wheat germ, bran, or flour until it reaches a firm consistency.
  13. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  14. Form the carrot mixture into uniform patties.
  15. Place the patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
