Protein Algae Burger
For 15 burger patties you will need:
Equipment:
Food processor
Dehydrator
Ingredients
70 g lentils, whole (alternatively buckwheat)
75 g peeled tiger nuts (alternatively: tiger nut flour)
½ zucchini
1 carrot
¼ stalk celery
2 tsp Hericium mushroom powder (optional)
10 g dulse flakes
10 g nori flakes
2 tbsp BOBEI baking mix (egg- and butter-free)
2 tbsp olive oil
30 g hulled hemp seeds
1 heaping tsp maca powder
1 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
Preparation
Soak the lentils for 3-4 hours. Drain and let sprout for 1-2 days, rinsing with clean water 1-2 times daily.
Tiger nut flour made from peeled tiger nuts has a very fine and fruity aroma.
To make it, place the peeled tiger nuts in a food processor or blender and process into a fine flour.
Add all ingredients to the food processor and process into a slightly chunky burger dough.
Shape the dough into burger patties with your hands and let them dry in the dehydrator at 42°C (approx. 108°F) for about 16-18 hours.
Once dried, the patties can be eaten warm with meals or served as burgers.
They can also be frozen perfectly and thawed as needed.
Tip: If you don't like the taste of sprouted lentils, you are welcome to use sprouted buckwheat instead. It is much milder in taste.
