I had some leftovers of pearl barley from before, so I decided to use it this way. Also there was one cabbage in the fridge waiting for a long time to be used and I knew I wanted to grill it. It’s something that we enjoy consuming as a side dish quite often.
I decided to make vegan patties out of 75 gr of pearl barley, but combining it with other ingredients instead of doing everything the same as in previous recipe for burgers.
The result amazed me. My first intention was to make it without garlic. At some point I was in doubt if I should maybe add garlic because it will elevate the taste. At the end I decided to stick with my previous plan and just go with it. And I didn’t regret it, on the contrary – the taste got absolutely great. Tasted as old fashioned homemade style patties that we used to eat as children with tomato sauce and mashed potatoes for Sunday family lunches, and even better – because those are made of only vegan ingredients.
Tomato sauce was absolutely great – fried garlic added tastiness to it. The photos I took are from the first batch that I made (all together I made 2 batches) – with tomato sauce that doesn’t have a bit of flour in it. I warmly recommend you to add flour to it as it says in the recipe because it will get the right consistency.
