or sunflower seeds (crushed or ground into a loose meal)
METHOD
STEP 1 ● Saute onions in a little olive until soft/crispy brown STEP 2 ● Remove from heat and add black beans and roughly mash, leaving some texture STEP 3 ● Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the quinoa or rice, beets, oats, coconut milk, salt/spices and stir. STEP 4 ● Lastly, add the walnut meal a little at a time until the mixture is able enough to form into patties. Preheat oven to 190 C (can also cook on the stovetop for a moist burger). STEP 5 ● Coat a baking tray with oil or parchment paper. Form mixture into roughly 1/3-cup sized patties. Use a jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect shape, or form into burger with your hands STEP 6 ● Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil. Bake at 190 C for a total of 30-45 minutes, gently flipping after 25-30 minutes.
