1 15oz can white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten free, if needed) or quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives
3 tablespoons chopped dill
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper (more to taste)
Red chili flakes, to taste (optional)
Extra virgin olive oil or nonstick spray for cooking
Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese
For serving:
Whole grain pita
Tzatziki
Hummus
Pickled onions
Instructions
In a small dish combine ground flax seeds and 6 tablespoons of water. Mix and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, mash beans with a fork. Then add the remainder of the ingredients, including the flaxseed mixture and mix well.
Form into 4 patties.
Heat oil-coated skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot (this is important!), cook patties for 4-6 minutes on each side, carefully flipping, until a golden crust forms. Serve immediately with hummus and/or tzatziki over salad or stuffed in a whole grain pita.
