  • 1 tablespoon golden flaxseed, ground
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • ½ cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse soaked mung beans a few times and put into a medium saucepan. Cover with 1½ inches of water. Bring to a boil and simmer on medium/low for 15 minutes until beans are tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  3. In a small bowl, combine flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Put beans in a food processor and process until smooth texture forms. Alternatively mash beans with a fork or potato masher.
  5. Put into a medium sized bowl. Add olives, onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, spices and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly. Taste to adjust salt.
  6. Add flax “egg” to the mixture. Mix to combine.
  7. Form into 4-6 burgers and place evenly on a parchment paper lined or lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet.
  8. Cook for 20 minutes, remove from oven, flip, and cook for another 5-10 minutes. The burgers should be lightly browned when done.
  9. Serve warm or room temperature over salad greens with my 5 Minute Avocado Herb Sauce.
