Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Toast the walnuts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the toasted walnuts, cooked quinoa, chickpeas, and rolled oats until the mixture is crumbly but not completely smooth.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, curry powder, smoked paprika, cumin, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs. Mix well to form a cohesive dough-like consistency.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 8

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 9

Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or a toaster if desired.

Step 10

Assemble the burgers with the patties, lettuce, tomato, and any condiments of your choice.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Curried Walnut Grain Burgers!
