Arielle’s Split Pea Burgers
Ingredients:

– 4 garlic cloves, smashed
– 1/4 red onion, diced

– 1 ½ cups almond flour
– 2 eggs (organic/farm fresh is best)
– 6 cups water
– 1 tsp grapeseed/olive/coconut oil
– sea salt to taste
1. Soak split peas for at least 10 minutes- overnight is best (better for digestion). Rinse and discard water.
2. Bring water + split peas + garlic + sea salt to a boil.
3. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes/until split peas are tender.
4. Strain + set aside to cool.
5. Combine red onion, sea salt + almond flour in bowl.
6. Add cooked split peas + mix. Then, add eggs + mix thoroughly.
7. Form the mixture into large balls/patties w/hands. (Add 1 tbs teff flour if they fall apart)
8. Prepare skillet with grapeseed oil. A) Cook on each side for about 4-5 min/until golden OR B) cook on broil high for approx 8 min in oven (this version comes out a tad drier).
