Hi everyone!

My name is Angela and I am the writer of Oh She Glows and Green Monster Movement. I was delighted when Diana asked me to do a guest post talking about one of my favourite meat-free recipes. I knew immediately what I would select.

These veggie burgers are the best veggie burgers I have ever tasted and are a hit among everyone who tries them out. My own meat-loving husband goes crazy over these whenever I make them. I hope you will enjoy them as much as we do! Just be careful…they are gone in a jiffy too!

In A Jiffy Spelt Veggie Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked chick peas (of beans of your choice)
• 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped into large pieces
• 1 small sweet onion, peeled and chopped up into large pieces
• 1/2 Red pepper, chopped into large pieces
• 1/4 cup spinach, washed
• 1/2 t dill (dried or fresh- I used fresh pureed dill)
• 1/2 t dried basil
• 1/4 t fine grain sea salt
• tiny dash of cayenne
• 1 clove minced garlic, optional
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (so amazing in this burger!)
• 1 T pumpkin seeds (pepita)
• 1 T chia seeds
• 3/4 cup spelt flour (or flour of your choice)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with oil). Place all ingredients except the seeds and flour into a food processor. Process until mixture is blended well, stopping to scrape sides if necessary. Remove mixture and place into a large bowl. Add seeds and stir well. Now add the spelt flour (or flour of your choice) in 1/4 cup increments, stirring well until blended. Shape patties and bake for 15 mins at 375F, flip and bake for another 10 minutes.

Makes 8 small patties.
