Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 15 oz great northern beans like Eden Organic (or other white beans, or 1.5 cups cooked)
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 3/4 cup spinach
  • 5 to 6 artichoke hearts (I used canned)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/3 cup chopped white or red onion
  • 2 Tbsp flax seed meal or Chia Seeds (I used 1 Tbsp flax and 1 Tbsp chia)
  • 1 tsp italian herb blend
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tsp prepared mustard
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 cup small cauliflower florets
  • 1/3 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/4 cup cashews or use seeds to make nut-free
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or oat flour or chickpea flour)

Instruction

  • In a food processor, process all the ingredients from beans till cumin powder until most of the beans are mashed. Move to a bowl. Add mustard, olive oil, lemon juice and nutritional yeast and mix.
  • In the processor, process cauliflower, carrots and cashews until crumbs. Add to the bowl and mix well.
  • Add breadcrumbs and mix. Use less or more crumbs/flour to get a soft and not too wet, but also not crumbly mixture. Shape into patties by packing into a 3.5 inch cookie cutter. Place on parchment lined sheet.
  • options to cook the patties.
  • freeze and grill. Freeze patties for 15 minutes. Spray oil on the patties. The patties get well set when chilled. Grill frozen patties for 3 to 4 minutes each side.
  • Par-bake and grill. Bake the patties for 20 minutes at pre-heated 400 degree F / 200ºc. Grill the par-baked patties also for 3 to 4 minutes each side. Refrigerate until ready to grill, if grilling later.
  • Bake the patties: Bake at pre-heated 400 degrees F / 200ºc for 20 minutes, then flip the patties and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • I served these with Tahini sauce, cucumbers, sriracha and tomato. Some caramelized onions, spicy chipotle ranch/mayo sauce, vegan cheese slices, pickles, ketchup, mustard etc would work beautifully as well. For Chipotle Ranch, add chipotle pepper powder to taste to this ranch sauce.
  • For Variations: Use other beans, add vegan cheese shreds to the patties, add a chipotle pepper and adobo sauce in the first step.
