- Heat the pan again and cook cakes until browned on one side, about 3 minutes.
- Turn the cakes, brown other side then bake in oven for 6 minutes.
- Serve cakes on salad.
Absolutely great. These reminded me of falafels. I should have doubled the recipe because 3 of us gobbled them up.
Glad to hear it was a big hit! I agree with the doubling part. It’s always nice to have more to make later.
