These burgers make a good sandwich with flax crackers or cabbage leaves as the bun. Good condiments include the Black Sesame Seed Gravy, French Fries with Ketchup, Fresh Barbecue Sauce, or fresh sliced tomatoes.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4

• ½ cup flaxseed, ground
• 2 cups sunflower seeds (soaked), or walnuts (soaked), pecans, or hazel nuts
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ cup water as needed
• 1 cup diced carrot
• ¼ cup diced onion
• 4 tablespoons basil, minced
• 2 tablespoons dill, minced
• 1 tablespoon jalapeño pepper, minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic, minced

1. In a food processor, use the S blade to process the flaxseed and sunflower seeds with the lemon juice and a little water to create a batter the consistency of creamy peanut butter.

2. Combine all ingredients in the food processor and process until well mixed and chunky. You may need to add a little extra water to make it easier to form the mixture into patties.

3. Place the patties on dehydrator trays and dry for 8 to 12 hours at 115°F.
