๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐ฆ (๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐)
2 tablespoons olive oil divided
3 clove garlic minced
1 small onion chopped finely
1 1/2 cup zucchini grated on the largest setting of a box grater, and squeezed dry using a paper towel or cheesecloth (make sure to remove all moisture from zucchini)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds toasted
3/4 teaspoons sea salt plus more to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup canned chickpeas
1 cup cooked quinoa 1/3 cup dry
2-3 tablespoons water optional
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped (use fresh basil if you prefer)
1/2 teaspoon smoked and spicy paprika
3-4 tablespoons quinoa flour optional
๐ง๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ:
6 hamburger buns or sliced bread (ie. Ezekiel Bread)

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan. Saute onion and garlic until tender. Add zucchini, and saute until zucchini is cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Grind sunflower seeds, sea salt, and pepper in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add quinoa, chickpeas, dijon mustard, lemon, dill, and paprika, to the mixture. Pulse to combine a few times and then run the food processor until the mixture is broken up but hasn't completely lost its texture. If you need to, add a little water to the mixture.
3. Place the mixture in a mixing bowl and add the zucchini, onion, and garlic. Mix until combined.
4. Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties with your hands. Optional -- if the mixture feels too moist add quinoa flour and mix, until mixture is a bit more dry and holds together better.
5. After forming into patties freeze the patties for 15-20 minutes (optional) - this helps them stick together better.
