Add parsley, coriander, chopped onion, and blend in pulses to combine.
Make round patties with slightly wet hands and place on a baking tray.
Bake the patties for 25-30 min or until golden brown.
Let cool properly before removing from tray.
Sauce:
Heat a pan with oil, add sliced garlic cloves and chopped chilli. Fry until lightly golden.
Add chopped carrots and capsicum, crushed tomatoes, water, and spices. Mix well.
Cover the pan and let simmer on low heat for 10-15min until carrots are soft.
Turn off the heat, and add the patties, gently covering them in the sauce.

If you don't have a food processor, you can blend the tofu and oats in a Nutribullet, then finely chop the onion and herbs and mix it all up in a bowl.
