These are our go-to "Meatless Monday" burgers. Honestly, they are pretty easy to assemble. Sunflower seeds are a heart-healthy source of folate, vitamin E, and also contain magnesium, supporting healthy bones and soothing muscles.
Ingredients:
2 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup brown rice (cooked)
1/2 cup grated carrots
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon black pepper
Add all ingredients to food processor and process until chunky paste-like consistency develops. Divide mixture into 4 to 6 balls and form into patties. Brown patties on both sides in a lightly oiled or nonstick skillet. You may also choose to cook the patties in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes.
Other options include adding about 2 eggs to the mixture, topping with cheese or adding 1/2 cup grated cheese to the mixture.
