Ingredients (for 10 small Vegan Spinach & Bean Fritters)
1 carrot
2 small potatos
3 tablespoons green onion rings
1 package of spinach
3 tablespoons corn starch
Whole-grain wheat flour (or buckhweat flour) as much as has needed (at least 5 tablespoons for a start)
1 can of mixed beans
1 teaspoon olive oil (more for frying)
2 teaspoons of vegetable soup stock powder
1/2 teaspoon shichimi (or chilli poweder, feel free to adjust the amount to your preference)
Toppings
8 tablespoons soy yoghurt
Salt, pepper, dried herbs to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
10 cherry tomatos

Instructions
First peel and grind the carrot and potatos, then insert them to a large bowl.
Remove the spinach leaves form their stems and wash them thoroughly. Then cut them as finely as you can and add them to the bowl. Cut the spring onion finely too.
Add the spring onions, beans, olive oil, soup stock powder, shichimi spice, corn starch and four and mix with your hand until well combined. The texture of the dough is perfect when you are able to form little balls that kind of stick together. If the dough is too wet, add more flour little by little until the texture becomes more firm.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a fry-pan and add as many dough balls as fit the pan. I used two large pans to fry all of them at once. Press the balls down a bit so that the fritter flattened. Once it turned golden-brown on the bottom, flip them over and keep frying until both sides are golden brown.
In the meantime, mix the soy yoghurt with the olive oil and season to taste.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters.
Once the fritters are done, place however many you want to eat on a plate and decorate them with the yoghurt sauce and tomato pieces.
Enjoy!

What is Veganism?
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.“
- The Vegan Society
Reasons to choose vegan alternatives:
Protect animals from suffering horrendously and getting killed
A whole-food plant-based vegan diet has the least environmental impact
A whole-food plant-based vegan diet is extremely healthy and can help reversing various diseases like type 2 diabetes or heart diseases.
For people, as a vegan diet requires only one third of the land needed to support a meat and dairy diet.
