Ingredients

  • 4 Beet (medium-size peeled, cut into small

  • 1 cup Lentils cooked, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup Ground Flax Seed
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 Garlic clove, minced
  • 2 Avocado sliced
  • 1 head Romaine Hearts leave separated

Instructions

  • Add the beets to a steaming basket over boiling water and cover. Steam for about 20 to

  • Preheat the oven to 350oF (176oC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a food processor, add the lentils, walnuts, parsley, ground flax, salt, garlic and the cooked beets. Pulse 6 or 7 times or until a coarse crumb forms. Do not over mix.
  • Scoop out roughly 1/2 cup of the mixture at a time and form into patties about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through.
