Crispy, savory vegetable patties made with tender Swiss chard, sesame seeds, and simple pantry ingredients.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 24 small patties

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and finely chopped

  • 2 eggs, whisked

  • 1 cup white or whole wheat matzo meal

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • Oil, for cooking

Instructions

 

  1. Steam the Swiss chard over boiling water for 6–8 minutes, or until tender.

  2. Allow the chard to cool slightly, then chop it very finely.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped chard, eggs, matzo meal, salt, garlic powder, and sesame seeds. Mix thoroughly.

  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape into small patties.

  5. Heat a thin layer of oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.

  6. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.

  7. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Chop the cooked chard very finely so the patties hold together more easily.

  • Squeeze out excess moisture from the cooked chard if it seems particularly wet.

  • Keep the patties small and evenly shaped for consistent cooking.

  • Cook in batches if needed, leaving enough space between patties for easy flipping.
