Honey) or 2 tsp fennel seed (2 tbs olive oil or grapeseed oil) Wash greens; remove leaves from tough stems and lay leaves on top of another. Roll into a tube and cut into ¼ inch pieces.

5 Hamburger (Garden Burger) (H,T) 4 c.raw sunflower seeds 2 lbs. carrots 2 medium size Spanish onions ¼ c. poultry seasoning - grind together: 1 tsp. rosemary, 1 tsp marjoram, ½ tsp. celery seed, ¼ c. nutritional yeast (helps the spices grind), 4 tsp. salt ¼ c. ground flaxseeds Grind the sunflower seeds for 2 minutes and place in 3 quart mixing bowl. Blend the onions in the food processor with an S blade. Add to mixing bowl. Then blend the carrots (first cut them into 3) in the food processor using the S blade, until the rumbling noise is gone and sounds like a smooth humm, which means it is chopped uniformly and still leave it a little bit course. Add carrots and spices to bowl and stir thoroughly. Sprinkle flaxseeds over mixture and stir. The flaxseeds bind the taste together and give it a much subtler taste. Shape the mixture into hamburgers and lay each burger on its own lettuce leaf. Garnish each burger with one tomato slice +/- thin slice of onion. Serve with a salad. This is a great way to add essential fats to your life and relieve your cravings for protein. 5
