Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb crimini , chopped
- 1 carrot , chopped
- 1 broccoli , cut into small pieces
- 1/4 white onion , chopped
- 2 teeth of garlic , minced
- 1 lb black beans , cooked and parched
- 2 cups raw spinach
- 1 bunch of chives
- 1 bunch of coriander
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup of nuts (walnuts)
Species
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs (panko works best)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3/4 cup quinoa, cooked
Others (optional)
- 1 lb arugula
- 1 lb apple tomato , sliced
- 1 lb avocados , sliced or in guacamole
- 1 creamy herbed goat cheese
- 8 hamburger buns
Preparation
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F
- Line two flat cans with aluminum foil.
- Mix the mushrooms, carrot, broccoli and onion with the coconut oil, garlic, paprika, chili, salt and pepper. Blend or put in a food processor and pulse 10-20 times.
- Spread the mixture in one of the tins with a spatula until it is a thin layer. Roast the mixture in the oven for 15min. Mix the vegetables and spread them again in a thin layer. Roast for 15 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, strain the beans and spread them in the second can until it is a thin layer. Roast for 15 minutes or until the beans begin to break down.
- While the vegetables and beans are roasting, combine the walnuts, spinach, chives, cilantro, and parsley in a blender or food processor.
- Add the beans to the mixture and pulse. Add roasted vegetables, panko, tomato paste and eggs. Pulse until everything is combined. You want to get a good texture so you should not blend the mixture too much.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and incorporate the quinoa with a spatula.
- Divide among 8 equal portions and make pancakes. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan and fry the pancakes for 4-6min per side or until golden.
- Serve with hamburger bun, arugula, sliced tomato, avocado and goat cheese or to taste.
