Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups (15 oz can) of canned red kidney beans or boiled red kidney beans
  • 1 inch ginger piece finely chopped or grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion (red or white)
  • ½ cup finely chopped red/orange bell pepper
  • ½ cup grated carrot
  • ½ cup fresh finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon flaxseed powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Optional (to further increase fiber and nutritional value)

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

  1. Dry roast the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds on a hot pan until they give off an aroma and seeds begin to change to browned color. Note: They can burn easily so take off the heat once done and set aside to cool.
  2. Grind the seeds into a powder using a spice grinder or small food processor.
  3. In a bowl, add the ground seeds and all of the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
  4. Make into 3 inch round, flat patties.
  5. On a heated nonstick pan, with minimal oil, cook the patties until starting to get a nice brown on them (about 3-4 min). Flip and cook on the other side (another 2-3 minutes).
  6. Serve with a salad or on a whole wheat bun with green chutney.
