DELICIOUSLY ELLA S ZUCCHINI, PEA AND QUINOA BURGERS IN HOMEMADE BUNS SERVES: 5 8 FOR THE BURGERS: 2 cups of peas 1 small courgette/ zucchini 1 cup of ground flaxseed 1 cup of quinoa 1 lime 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp of tahini a handful of fresh coriander (cilantro) salt to taste FOR THE BUNS: 1 ½ cups of sunflower seeds 1 ½ cups of pumpkin seeds 1 cup of ground flaxseeds 1 cup of almonds 3 tablespoons of coconut oil ½ a cup of water salt to taste FOR THE GARNISH: hummus guacamole slices of avocado slices of tomatoes rocket/butter lettuce 1 Start by making the bread. First place one cup each of the almonds, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed and sunflowers seeds in a food processor and blend for a minute or so until smooth, then transfer the mix to a bowl and stir in the remaining half a cup each of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds along with the salt, coconut oil and water. 2 Use your hands to mix everything together, kneading the mixture together with your fingers for a few minutes until everything is perfectly sticky. Then make buns using your hands to carefully mould and flatten the bread, place these on a baking tray and cook at 180 C for 25 minutes. Once they are cooked remove them from the oven and allow to cool and set fully before eating. 3 While the burger buns cook make the burger patties. First cook the quinoa, which should take minutes. While this cooks place the peas in a pan and cover with cold water, then place on a stove and bring to the boil. 4 Once the water has been boiling for a minute or two drain the peas and place them in a blender or food processor until they form a smooth paste. Add this to a mixing bowl. 5 Next, grate the zucchini and add the grated mix to the bowl along with the juiced lime, apple cider vinegar, tahini, finely chopped coriander, ground flax and salt. 6 Once the quinoa is cooked add it to the bowl and mix everything well. Make sure that the mix is very sticky; if it isn t sticky enough add more ground flax. 7 Then mould the patties, place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 180 C, until the patties are perfectly firm. 8 Finally, add everything together, I like to put a bun down followed by a thick layer of hummus, then a lettuce leaf, followed by the actual burger patty, a few sliced tomatoes, a little more lettuce and finally another bun! Then bite and enjoy! 5
