Yes – always. Store The Patty Project in the freezer until the moment you cook it. There are no preservatives keeping it stable at room temperature, so the freezer is where it stays.

If you’d like a head start, 15–30 seconds in the microwave takes the chill off before you crisp it up. Don’t leave it sitting out to thaw for too long.

Because there’s nothing fake holding it together. Commercial frozen patties use stabilisers, emulsifiers and binders to stay rigid at room temperature — we use none of them. If a patty is left out of the freezer too long it can soften and break. That’s not a fault; it’s the proof. Keep it frozen, defrost and cook it right away, and it holds beautifully.

 

Microwave straight from frozen for 15 – 30 seconds – just enough to shave the frost off.

Air fryer (180°C, 8–10 min),

Oven (180°C, 8-10 min)

Pan (Medium Heat, 4-5 min a side)

Deep Fry (Defrost First, 3-4 min). 

All four are vegetarian. The Beetroot Project is fully vegan; the Greek, Bombay and Mexican Projects contain cheese. Every flavour is made from real vegetables, beans and grains — nothing you can’t pronounce.

No. We’re a companion to your meals, not a replacement for anything — we’re not trying to trick you into thinking a vegetable is meat. We lead with flavour, and it’s the kind that makes a lifelong meat-eater pause mid-bite and ask, “wait, that’s veg?” 

We celebrate vegetables — we don’t imitate meat.

The freezer does the work that chemicals do in other products. A 12-month frozen shelf life, with 0 preservatives, 0 emulsifiers, 0 stabilisers. — that took months of R&D with chefs and nutritionists to get right. Real food, nothing holding it together but real ingredients.

Only real food: vegetables, beans, lentils, grains and cheese, with every ingredient listed right on the pack. They’re high in protein and clean-label, which is why “healthy, delicious, convenient — you no longer have to pick two” is kind of our whole point.

Eight patties per pack, 240g. Enough for a family dinner, a few lunches, or a week of “I need something good in ten minutes.”

We delivery all across the UAE within 24-48 hours. 

We have our local logistics partners with temperature-controlled vehicles to make sure that your order arrives in perfect condition.

Kids are some of our toughest critics and they keep coming back — the kids table is a battle we win. On allergens: the three cheese flavours contain dairy, and the breadcrumb-crust flavours contain gluten, so always check the individual pack ingredients before serving to anyone with an allergy.

However you’d eat anything you love. Stack one in a bun/bread as a burger, fold it into a wrap or pita, break it over a grain or salad bowl, drop it into a slider for the kids, or just eat it straight off the tray at 1am. It’s a companion to every meal — it goes with everything on your table, not instead of it.

That’s kind of the point. Keep the pack in the freezer and cook only what you need, whenever you need it — one patty or all eight. Because you cook from frozen in under ten minutes, there’s no planning ahead and nothing wasted.

It means nothing on the label is there to fake freshness or hold the patty together — only real food doing real work. Emulsifiers and stabilisers are the invisible additives most frozen foods lean on; we threw them all out and let the freezer keep things fresh instead. Zero preservatives, zero shortcuts, zero apologies. Only delicious flavour.

Most frozen veggie patties are either trying to imitate meat or are propped up by a long list of additives. We do neither: real vegetables you can see, a signature crust on every flavour, high protein, and a label your mum would recognise. Flavour first — High Protein and convenience are just the bonus.

Every ingredient is something you could find in a home kitchen — beetroot, potato, spinach, beans, lentils, cheese, herbs and spices — nothing engineered, nothing you can’t pronounce. That’s the whole idea behind The Patty Project by Rita’s Kitchen: food made with love should taste like it, and read like it too.
