Gluten-Free, Soy Free Fishless Fritters
Fritters have been a long time staple in my home. So I thought why not share this recipe that mimics a seafood flavor without the harm. I think that this recipe is the most simple recipe I have posted on the site and I really hope you make it to satisfy those pescy cravings that sometimes as vegans we experience.
What ingredients will I need to make these fritters?
These fishless fritters use hearts of palm, oat flour, Old Bay seasoning in addition to other pantry friendly items. For my oil free friends that follow this blog. I was able to make these in the oven but the color was not as golden yellow. However, the taste was on point. Take in mind that the mixture itself does not use oil. But since these are fritters I had to pan fry them in a little oil. When I attempted these in the air fryer I found that they were not as tasty as in the oven and did need a little oil rubbed on them. All in all I do not recommend the oven or the air fryer for these.
Gluten Free, Soy Free Fishless Fritters
Equipment
- Stove
- Frying Pan
- Spatula
- Mixing Bowl
- Food Processor (optional)
- Measuring Cups
- Clean kitchen towel or paper towels
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Cubed Potatoes
- 2 Flax Eggs
- 1 Can Minced Hearts of Palms 14 ounces
- 1 Cup Gluten Free Oat Flour
- 1/4 Cup White Finely Chopped Onion
- 2 Tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Thyme optional
- 2 Teaspoons Salt
- 25 Cracks Black Pepper
- 6 Tablespoons Water to make the flax eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Plant milk
- 1/24 Cup Neutral Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Mince the hearts of palm using a knife, your food processor or a potato masher. I used day old potatoes that had been previously cooked and were cold. If you are cooking your potatoes the same day I recommend you leave the skin on so they do not absorb too much moisture. Let the potatoes cool while you make your flax eggs combining to tablespoons of flax meal with 6 tablespoons of water and let site for 10 minutes to turn gelatinous. Once the potatoes are at room temperature roughly chop them in 2 inch pieces.
- Once the flax eggs are ready chop the onion and get your spices ready.
- Reserve the 2 tablespoons of plant milk in case you need it. Mix all of your ingredients together in a large bowl except the plant milk. The mixture will be a little sticky. If you find the mixture is too grainy add the 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Using a 1/4 Cup measuring cup start scooping out the mixture. The fritters should resemble the size of a sand dollar. I recommend that you not make them thicker then 2 inches so that they do not absorb too much oil.
- Fry the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn a golden brown. Put them on top of clean kitchen towel or paper towel so they oil will be absorbed. Serve once you go thru the entire batter. Alternatively, you can make a few and store them in the fridge for 1 week to make them through the week. You can also freeze these for up to 1 month in an air tight container.
Optional Dressing
- Mix 1/3 Cup traditional hummus, 3 chipotle peppers in adobo and 1/3 cup of water in a blender and enjoy. If the dressing is too thick add 2 more tablespoons of water.
These fishless fitters were delicious! So easy to make and even more delicious to eat!
I like the idea of savoury fritters. I used to make sweet courgette or apple ones when I was younger. I will give them a try soon:)
Yummy courgette and apple sounds so delicious.
I could totally enjoy this as main dish and with rice
Thats actually how I ate the leftovers after all the photos 😀
This is yummy. I always learn something new from you about how to using food creatively to eat fully vegan. Thank you for a great recipe & website.
Thank you for stopping by Christina.
Such a unique and creative recipe, I can’t wait to give these a try!!
Thank you Emily.
These look terrific. Can’t wait to give them a try!
Thank you Sue.
I see fresh hearts of palm for sale in Costa Rica, and was wondering how to use them. Now i have a recipe! Do you know if fresh hearts of palm can be substituted for canned?
Absolutely they will turn out even better. Here in South Texas we don’t get them fresh only canned. I hope you give them a try.
we haven’t tried a vegan fish yet. this looks so good!
Thank you
Wow these look delicious. I love that you can make them in the oven. I need to find Hearts of Palm in Germany x
Its a must try.
