Who says you can't have a protein rich burger minus the meat, saturated fat and cholesterol. A junk food-like meal that you can indulge in without the guilt. Food that hits the spot. Oh and I should add that these patties are gluten free!
INGREDIENTS:
3C Soaked Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) 1C Carrots (chopped) 1C Celery (chopped) 3/4C Onions (chopped) 1 1/2C Parsley (chopped) 1/2 Thumb Ginger 3-4 Garlic 2T (Tablespoon) Coconut sugar 1 1/4 - 1 1/2t (teaspoon) Sea Salt
1t Cumin
1t Coriander
1t Turmeric 2t Ground Allspice (pimento) 2 Pinch Cardamom 2T Coconut Aminos 3T Molasses 2t Tomato paste
1/2C Ground flaxseed 1/2C Quinoa Flakes 1/2C Quinoa (cooked)
DIRECTIONS: Soak chickpeas overnight. Rinse. Cook quinoa and let sit.
Place all ingredients except for the ground flaxseed, cooked quinoa and quinoa flakes into a food processor.
Process until the batter becomes almost paste-like.
Scoop out into a bowl. Pour quinoa, quinoa flakes and flaxseed powder into a separate bowl and mix. Then, pour the mixture in with the processed batter. Mix.
Set frying pan to medium high. Scoop out a small amount of batter, roll into a ball then flatten with the palm of your hand to make the burger patty. Place in frying pan. Fry both sides for about 2-3 minutes each. Remove from stove once both sides are brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes and top with lettuce and all of your favorite condiments. Enjoy!
*Leftovers can be stored in the freezer and placed in the oven when ready*
