Instructions

1. 1

   Assemble: ingredients. Wash and part dry all the greens.

2. 2

   Cut and add the veggies to a food processor. Or you can grate broccoli, zucchini, onion, and garlic on the medium coarse side of a box grater and finely chop the spinach.

3. 3

   Pulse until it looks like quinoa. This should not take long, a couple of ‘pulse,’ and you are done. If you let it run for too long, you will end up with a mushy paste of veggies and that will be too difficult to bind.

4. 4

   Transfer the veggies to a muslin cloth and squeeze out the excess water. This step is important. If the water is not squeezed, the mixture will become runny and difficult to handle.

5. 5

   Add chili sauce, mustard paste, cumin seeds, salt, crushed black pepper, and paprika.

6. 6

   Finally, add gluten-free flour - chickpea flour. You can use any gluten-free flour. See notes above.

7. 7

   Knead the mixture like a dough. The dough should not be sticky. If it feels sticky add an extra teaspoon of chickpea flour and knead again.

8. 8

   Divide the mixture into 6 big round balls. Shape and flatten each ball into patties.

9. 9

   Pan cook these patties until evenly brown. I have cooked these green veggie patties in an air-fryer @370 degree F for 10 minutes.

10. 10

    Time to assemble the burgers. Slightly toast burger buns in a toaster. Layer the bottom bun with cilantro mayo dressing.

11. 11

    Top with lettuce, tomato, and onions. Other topping options include - pickled onions, pickled cucumbers, or regular cucumbers.

12. 12

    Add the green veggie patty.

13. 13

    Drizzle some more cilantro mayo dressing, top it with another slice of onion/tomato if you like and finally add the top bun layer.

14. 14

    Delicious burgers are ready to be devoured.
