A friend of mine taught me how to make these (thanks, Geoff!!):
soak adzuki beans overnight. drain and keep in a mason jar with the lid just placed on or a sprouting lid. rinse every day several times with filtered water and drain for two days. should start to smell like yogurt and sprouts will form. go as long as you want, I usually do 2-3 days, depending.
then you boil them for 45 mins or so, til tender, drain.
I like to soak some brown rice at the same time as the beans, but just cooking the rice as normal works too.
Combine:
cooked beans
cooked rice
1 sauteed onion, chopped finely
toasted ground sunflower seeds (a handful)
ground almonds, raw (also a handful)
sea salt, Braggs to taste
black pepper
1/2 c tahini
2 T olive oil
curry powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic (sauteed or powder)...any spice combo to taste.
form into burgers and fry in olive oil. enjoy!!! I place them on romaine leaves and serve with sweet potato fries from the oven.
(you can also use 2 eggs in place of the olive oil and tahini.)
