Preparation

Dry fry the sunflower seeds and gram flour for 1–2 minutes on a low-medium heat. Add the rest of ‘The Burger Patty’ ingredients and blitz well in a food processor until a paste has formed. Next shape the blitzed up ingredients into 2 burger patty shapes ready to fry.

Mix all the “Sambal Dressing” together in a small bowl.

Heat 1–2 tbsp of avocado oil in a frying pan to a medium heat and carefully place the burger patties into the hot oil. Pan fry on one side for 4–5 minutes and then turn and pan fry the other side. Serve in a toasted multi seed burger bun along with some lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes and a generous dollop of sambal dressing.
