Ingredients
For: 8 patties
- 2 cups mung beans (or bean of choice, freshly cooked or canned)
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 medium carrot grated
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 red onion diced
- 1/2 bunch coriander leaves and stems, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1-2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 lemon juice only
- Preparation:
- 20 min
- Cooking:
- 35 min
- Ready in:
- 55 min
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the mung/black beans until they form a chunky paste (leaving a few beans whole)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sesame seeds, spices, salt and pepper.
- Next, add the mung bean "paste", minced garlic, coconut oil and lemon juice to the dry mix and combine well using a large spoon.
- Fold in the carrots, onion and coriander. Add a splash of water if the mix appears too dry.
- Taking a large handful, roll dough into a large ball, place it on the lined baking tray and use the palm of your hand to flatten to shape a burger patty. Repeat the process with remaining dough.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove and flip each patty, before returning them to the oven to bake for a further 20 minutes - until firm and lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and serve warm - either between quality bread, two portobello mushrooms, wrapped in a crunchy lettuce leaf or atop a salad.
