Directions
Beef Patty
Peel the beets and carrots (we suggest while wearing gloves), then finely grate them. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Using your hands, squeeze out the water from the grated vegetables.
In a large bowl, mix the beets, carrots, onion, garlic, oatmeal, flax and water. Let sit for 15 minutes while the oatmeal sets.
In the meantime, use a potato masher to mash the chickpeas into puree, making sure to leave a bit of texture and begin to prepare your toppings.
Add the mashed chickpeas to the carrot and beets and add the spices. Mix well so the spices are evenly distributed.
Form two uniform patties, making sure they are tightly packed and about 2 cm thick.
In a nonstick pan, heat a little vegetable oil and brown each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side. Make sure to cook them enough so that they dont fall apart when flipping. If necessary, reshape the edges using a spatula.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes.
