Bean Patties in Beet and Chickpea Wraps [Vegan]
Ingredients
For the Wraps:
- 1/3 cup, plus 1 1/3 tablespoons beet juice (homemade or store bought)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons of salt
For the Patties:
- 2 cans of mixed beans (or just black beans), rinsed
- 1 yellow onion
- 3.5 ounces broccoli
- 3/4 cups of sprouted wheat berries
- 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons of tahini
- 1 teaspoon of chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons of salt
Preparation
To Make the Wraps:
- Mix the juice, water, and salt in a bowl. Then whisk while adding the chickpea flour, so that the lumps are removed. Finish off by adding the garlic powder.
- Heat a pan to medium heat. Add a thin layer of cooking oil. Pour and fry the batter (reach 8 ounces) and twist the frying pan so that the pancake gets spread evenly.
To Make the Bean Patties:
- Start by mixing the beans in a large bowl with a hand blender. Chop the broccoli into small pieces, grate the onion, squeeze the garlic cloves, and then add all the other ingredients into the bean mixture. Stir together thoroughly with a spoon.
- Measure the patties to 60 g and shape them into patties/burgers with oily hands. Heat the frying pan to medium heat and add some cooking oil. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Serve the patties in a beet wrap with some fresh lettuce and vegan mayonnaise.
