You’ll find several recipes for plant-based burgers in the Chakra Chef. This one uses root vegetables and quinoa, but you can substitute for other grains. I used fresh thyme in this recipe because who doesn’t want more time!
Ingredients:
1 cup garbanzo bean flour + 3/4 cup of water
Red Onion (or regular onion) at least half, chopped small
2 TBSP avocado oil
2 TBSP honey or agave
2+ cups root veggies (cooked and chopped into small pieces) - Carrots, beets, fennel, celery, etc.
1 cup cooked quinoa (or any leftover grain, such as rice, couscous, etc.)
Seasonings: salt, pepper, thyme
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375
Mix 1 cup of garbanzo bean flour with 3/4 water and let it absorb
Chop and sauté all the veggies, starting with the onion and let them simmer in the honey and olive oil to caramelize. Season to taste.
Combine all ingredients in a big bowl with the garbanzo bean flour, mixing thoroughly. This should be thick, but not too dry
Divide the mixture into patties (6-8) on parchment paper.
Brush with avocado oil + honey
Bake for 30 minutes until brown. You can flip these over and brush the other side.
Serve over lettuce or on a bun with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion. Or add some pesto or barbecue sauce.
