Cheryl's Veggie-Nut Patties Recipe

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add butternut squash cubes cover and steam until tender 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer squash to a bowl and mash; measure 1/2 cup mashed squash and reserve.

Place the steamer insert back into the saucepan and refill with water to reach just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower and broccoli cover and steam until tender 2 to 6 minutes.

Process walnuts almonds and sunflower seeds together in a blender or food processor until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add broccoli and cauliflower blend until finely chopped and incorporated.

Blend 1/2 cup mashed squash salt cumin and black pepper into the nuts mixture until well-mixed. If mixture is too thick to process transfer it to a bowl and mix by hand.

Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in hot oil until browned and heated through about 2 minutes per side.
