STEEMIT IRON CHEF #03 - STEEMIT IRON CHEF BURGER
Hello Dear Steeminas,
These are my special burgers I made few times before, but every time I make them I change the recipe a little. Not only because I don’t like to follow recipes, (even my own, lol), but because I am striving towards perfection.
My goal was to create delicious, yet super healthy burgers that even non vegans would like. I know the list of ingredients is quite long, but if you try them you will understand why. They are very low fat but high in protein, mouth watering and highly satisfying. The bonus is that you can have them ready in your freezer whenever you need them. Even though I baked them in the oven, you can make them on the grill if you wish.
It seems that these I made for the Steemit Iron Chef contest are the best so far, not only based on my opinion, but also my daughter’s. Unfortunately, our twin boys did not like them. Oh well, they are only seventeen months old and they are very hard to please lol.

PROCESS
• In the food processor, start blending the garbanzo, beets and sundried tomatoes with all the spices including smoke liquid, tamari, nutritional yeast and oil.
• When ready, transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the quinoa, flax egg, chia egg onion and garlic.
• Mix thoroughly and place the mixture into refrigerator for couple hours.
• In the mean time prepare a tray lined with parchment paper.
• When ready, make the patties measuring about ½ cup per patty and place them on the tray.
• Store them in a freezer for 6 hours or overnight.
HOW TO BAKE
• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Place your patties on baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 40min.
• You may brush them lightly with oil just to get nice crispy surface.
• After 40min, switch the oven to broil for 5 to 10 min, just be careful not to burn them.
• When ready, flip them over and repeat the broil for another 5 min.
• Serve on the bun and toppings of your choice.
I served them on whole grain bun, with spicy guacamole, lettuce, red onion, broccoli sprouts and spiralized beets. Also oven baked sweet potato wedges and purple cauliflower on the side.
Note: Keep stored in a freezer properly sealed.

Well, you certainly got my attention! I am a veggie burger kinda gal and although I am usually very adventurous when it comes to the palate, I have maintained a low profile on deviating from the routine.
I cannot figure out why, but, that is the ugly truth of it.
But, one look at this recipe - and I became really fascinated. Beets? I love beets. Quinoa? Delightful. Garbanzo beans? Oh, my!! Hummus on a bun! Yes, please! I want in! This sounds like something that will tickle my fancy and my taste buds.
Admittedly, it was those lacey little beets, spiraled to perfection, topped with the sprouts that drew me in. Who doesn't want to eat something so pleasing to the eye? The guacamole is purely a bonus.
Your setup is amazing, all the ingredients laid out so that I can see what I need at a glance and even though this may look like a lot of ingredients, I can already tell that it will be worthy. It is truly a sustainable meal.
It is always a treat to come over and see what's cooking, Lena! Thank you for presenting it in such a way that turns me over to a different burger or the weekend. I am truly excited to do this one. I love a good burger. Truly I do!
Good luck on the contest. This awesome entry has got my vote!
Upped and Resteemed tip!
I can't even express how happy I am about this. I had no idea about you being a burger gal lol, but my intuition was poking me to make sure you don't miss this one. I would really love if you make them and tell me honestly what you think. So if you ever have time for the test, please let me know. Thank you so much for your supprt Denise and the tip wow!!! You know how much I appreciate it XOXO
I have been eating veggie burgers for about ten years. I love them. ;) I will definitely tell you what I think of them. I am always honest because I don't want you feeding me things I don't like! LOL
I am glad to hear that Denise, because I can handle the truth lol
