Sprouted bean patties
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry beans
- 1 onion diced finely
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 3 tbsp water
- ½ cup olives
- big bunch fresh coriander
- 1 tsp garlic pressed
- 1 tsp mint
- ½ tsp ginger grated
Instructions
- Soak your mung beans overnight or for up to eight hours in enough water to cover them by at least three inches. Drain the beans in a colander, give them a thorough wash, and let them sit in the colander, covered with a kitchen towel, until little white shoots appear. It should take 2 days max. If they haven't sprouted yet, rinse them a couple of times a day-- once in the morning and again in the evening -- cover again, and wait.
- Once the beans have sprouted cook them in a pressure cooker according to instructions. Alternatlivly cook them in water on the stove. You want the beans to be al dente and not too mushy. Pulse the beans in a food processor or mash them to break them into smaller pieces, but leave some whole for texture.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
- Make your chia egg by adding the water to chia seeds and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the mung beans with all of the other ingredients. The mixture should hold together when you form a patty. If they are too sticky I usually add some chickpea flour. ( regular flour will work fine too).
- Add your chia seeds.
- Form 10 burger patties, and bake the in the oven for about 15 min till slightly golden brown.
