Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts, soaked 4 hours
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 3–4 tbsp flax meal
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Fresh basil
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- Tomato slices, red onion rings and ½ avocado, to serve
- For the sauce: ½ cup hemp seeds, juice of 1 lemon, a splash of coconut aminos, fresh dill, 1 garlic clove, 1 medjool date, water to blend
Method
- Pulse the drained walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, flax meal, vinegar and basil until the mixture holds together, adding a splash of water if it is dry.
- Shape into patties and chill for 30 minutes to firm up (or eat right away).
- Blend the sauce ingredients until creamy.
- Halve the lettuce and use the large outer cups, 3–4 layers thick, as the top and bottom "bun".
- Add a patty, tomato, onion and avocado, drizzle with sauce and close it up.
Tip: The patties stay soft. Measurements are a guide, so adjust to taste.
