Veggie Burgers (Oh She Glows)

Great, healthy, and versatile -- an adaptation from the Oh She Glows recipe. Can be patties or crumbles. Love them topped with sricha.  

3 tbsp flaxseed, soaked in 1/3 cup warm water

1 can black beans (14-15 oz)

3/4 cup gluten free rolled oats, processed into flour

1 cup mushrooms (or so), finely diced

1 cup grated carrots or sweet potatoes

1 onion, diced

2 large cloves, minced

1/3 cup parsley or cilantro, finely chopped

1/2 head of kale, chiffonade

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup bread crumbs (optional)

1/2 tbsp olive oil

1 to 2 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp sea salt

fresh ground pepper

Soak the flaxseeds in warm water.  Mash most of the beans in a bowl.

In a food processor, blend the oats into a flour. Remove, and dice mushrooms. Remove and dice carrots/sweet potatoes. Remove and dice onions and garlic.  Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl.  Then add kale, sunflower seeds, bread crumbs if using, olive oil, soy sauce, and spices.

Mix and form into patties (or balls).  Freeze until needed.  Either bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or cook in a pan like a burger.
