Hemp and Tofu Burger

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup hemp seeds ground
150 ml hemp milk warmed (you could use another milk alternative such as rice or almond)
225 g tofu
1 cup black-eye fresh beans cooked (can be substituted with any beans)
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 celery stalk diced finely
1 Tbsp coconut flour
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp parsley finely chopped
1 Tbsp yeast flakes
1 tsp tamari (or soy) sauce
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp tomato paste

METHOD

Place hemp seeds in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Lightly toast them, stirring frequently to make sure they don’t burn. Grind the seeds with a mortar and pestle and then soak in the heated milk for 10-15 minutes.
Mash tofu with the beans, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, yeast flakes, tamari sauce and tomato paste.
Shape mixture into burger patties. Dip the burgers in the coconut flour and place on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
Place the burger pattie in your choice of burger bun.
Optional burger additions: coleslaw, lettuce, nori seaweed, cheese, tomato sauce, sliced tomato, grated beetroot.
Serve with a large salad.
