This is a true veggie-lover’s burger—not an “I can’t believe this isn’t beef” patty. The flax adds a little bulk and binding power (and its great nutritional qualities) to this veggie-legume blend. Garnish with your favorite condiments, cheese, or sliced vegetables.
Directions
- Place artichoke hearts, garlic, green onions, parsley, garbanzo beans, kidney or black beans, ground flaxseed, tahini, and pepper in a food processor; pulse about eight times, until blended. Scrape down sides and pulse another six times. Do not overprocess. Transfer to a bowl and gently stir in cooked rice or millet.
- Divide mixture into four portions and form into patties 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Fry burgers until bottoms are brown, about 5 minutes. Spray tops of burgers with cooking spray and flip. Cook until brown, about 5 more minutes. Serve on buns, if desired.
