Instructions

Preparation

  1. Peel and chop the onion(s) & the garlic
    • I prefer to slightly mince all of them in a food processor
  2. In a bowl, hand-mix the chopped vegetables & the rest of the burger ingredients
    • If the mixture feels too soft, add a bit of oats and mix again
  3. Shape 6 patty(ies) or about 15 - 18 meatballs
    • as thin as possible

2 ways to cook

  1. Skillet
    • Brush a non-stick grill pan or skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat
    • When heated, add the patties or meatballs
    • Let them cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown
  2. Oven
    • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F
    • Brush a parchment paper with olive oil and place on a baking tray
    • Add the patties or meatballs and place the tray in the oven
    • Let them bake for about 15-17 minutes, until they are golden brown
    • Then, flip them on the other side, using a turner spatula or tongs and let them bake for 5-7 more minutes

Notes

Tip: bake / cook larger quantities and freeze them. They will be ok for 2-3 months. Simply defrost them when you want to consume them
