Hey, hey, it’s Recipe ReDux day! And happy Saturday at that too 🙂 Are you making weekend pancakes or waffles? I know I am, haha! But I don’t want to delay you with falling into my love of breakfast when there are most pressing matters at hand. When ever the new month rolls around and the new theme is posted for the ReDux members to see, I always get super excited. Then I usually read the theme and my excitement dwindles. I usually have no idea what I will make and that freaks me out. But then over the next few weeks I do major recipe development all in my head, playing around and tossing ideas this way and that. Finally I come up with something I hope will be spectacular. I then pick a weekend, gather my ingredients, and just wing it. Well once I got the idea for this month’s theme I was really excited. Not only that, but I used one of my favorite foods. Can you guess what it is? That is right, the PSP! Since I was able to buy a massive haul of them the other week, I had tons and what better way to be creative and utilize a PSP in a new way than to use it in my ReDux.
March’s theme: A Play on Patties: While St. Patty’s Day will be over by the time The Recipe ReDux rolls around this month, we’re celebrating the ‘patty’ all month long. We’ve seen images of stacked patties go crazy on food photo sharing sites like HealthyAperture.com; so stack ‘em up! Think healthy tuna burgers, potato patties, or veggie stacks.
Ah, patties, burgers, and round fun treats. I love veggie burgers and even my most recent grilled portobello burger. So a new bean/veggie/potato patty it was! These vegan and gluten-free patties are elegant with a beautiful purple color pop. The aroma and taste of the rosemary brings them over the top. Simple baked in the oven for a healthy and delicious dinnertime meal.
Purple Bean Patties
Ingredients: (serves: 3, makes 6 patties)
+ 1 Flax Egg (1 TB Ground Flax Seed + 3TB Water, mix and let sit for 5 minutes)
+ 2 Cups of Cooked Great Northern White Beans
+ 1 Cups Mashed Purple Sweet Potato (you can use any sweet potato as I know not everyone has access to the PSP!)
+ 2 Medium White Mushroom Caps (chopped)
+ 2 Packed Cups of Kale
+ 1/2 TB Dried Rosemary
+ 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
+ 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
+ 1/4 Tsp White Pepper
+ 1 TB Dried Parsley
+ 1/2 TB Dried Basil
To Serve:
+ Spiraled Yellow Squash
+ Lettuce Greens
+ Mashed Avocado
Directions:
+ Preheat the oven to 415°F.
+ In a high powdered blender, add all of the patty ingredients. Then simply pulse and blend until you get a mostly smooth, but still “chunky” and with texture patty “dough”. You may need to stop and scrap the sides a few times. Once I thought mine was done I scooped it all out into a bowl and just did a final mix with my hands.
+ Then on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, form 6 medium sized patties and place them down. Then bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
+ While they are baking you can spiralize, wash your greens, and mash your ‘cado!
+ When done, take them out and serve! To make a pretty presentation, plate some spiralized squash first, then two patties, place some greens around the plate, and top each patty with a dollop of avocado and a sprinkling of parsley!
PSPs never cease to amaze me 😉 Make sure you check out all the other ReDux members recipes in the link-up below!
So tell me:
What is your favorite veggie burger recipe?
Do you make your own or do you but pre-made burgers at the store? I implore you to make your own! It is so easy. Just make a huge batch and freeze them. After you blend all your ingredients you can simple freeze them on a pan and then once frozen wrap each one individually in wax paper and then place each in a single plastic baggie. Or you can actually bake them, let them cool, and freeze them the same way! When you want one, just take it out a few hours before and either bake for the full time if uncooked, or heat them up in a toaster oven.
See you all on Monday! Have a lovely weekend my friends 🙂

Rebecca you steal my heart and my stomach more and more, seriously SO excited to go home and make these! My mom is so worried abot feeding me once I’m home for good as a primarily vegan eater now. But I told her don’t worry I’ll make all my own food when the need calls, and you better believe I’ll be on here zooming through recipe after recipe. Much love and light!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

I don’t use white pepper either, but have wondered what the difference is. Where do you get flax egg? Thanks for sharing again on Real Food Fridays, new party tonight at 7 central.
Strength and Sunshine
There is really know difference, same spiciness, just a different colored pepper corn.
To make a flax egg you just combine 1 TB of ground flax seed with 3 TB of water and wait about 5 minutes for it to gel. Same thing with Chia Seeds!

Strength and Sunshine

Two things, I smiled when I got to white pepper. I am always sneaking that into my recipes, and I agree that it would be great with these flavors. Second, I must get a spiralizer. This recipe seals that deal for me!
Strength and Sunshine
Why don’t people use white pepper anymore? It is awesome!
And a Spiralizer will change your life 😉 Haha!

Purple sweet potatoes are so good! I’m all about this sand the white ones lately!
Strength and Sunshine
White Japanese Sweet Potatoes are so good! They have that same awesome texture and consistency of the Purple!
