Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes until tender.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, slowly cook the celery, carrots, onion and tomato until they are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If the tomato is not juicy, add a little vegetable stock.
Step 3
Add the peas, basil, cumin, turmeric and pepper flakes. Mix, then set aside to cool.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl whisk together the egg whites and milk.
Step 5
Scrape the potato flesh from the skins, and mash until smooth. Stir the egg-white mixture into the potatoes. Then combine the mixture with the vegetables, and mix thoroughly.
Step 6
Form the mixture into 12 patties, and dip lightly on both sides into bread crumbs.
Step 7
Spray one or two large nonstick skillets with a vegetable-oil spray, and saute the patties until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 8
Spoon ¼ cup of the red-pepper coulis over each of six plates, and set the vegetable cakes on the sauce. Serve immediately.
