Nutburger Patty

Pocket Bread

Toppings (optional)

Method

Preparing Nutburger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Nut Mixture

    In a food processor, combine walnuts, almonds, and cooked chickpeas. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped but not too fine.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add chopped red onion, minced garlic, ground flaxseeds, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground oats to the nut mixture. Pulse again until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and use your hands to form large patties, approximately 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Making Pocket Bread

  1. 5

    Activate Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. 6

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 7

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

  4. 8

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 9

    Shape the Pockets

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle about 6 inches in diameter.

  6. 10

    Cook the Pocket Bread

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each circle for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and puffed.

Assembling the Super Nutburger

  1. 11

    Cook the Nutburger Patties

    In a non-stick skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook each nutburger patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

  2. 12

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a cooked nutburger patty on one half of a pocket bread. Add your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, pickles, and mustard.

  3. 13

    Serve

    Fold the pocket bread over the filling, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Super Nutburger!
