Preparation:
1. Place the coconut oil with the onion into strips and chopped garlic in a wok or pan, cook in low heat for about 3-4 min. Then add the coriander leaves, paprika, cumin, coriander powder, and pepper. Let it cook for 5 min. to release the flavour of the spices.
2. While waiting for the stew, wash the mushrooms and cut them roughly into small pieces and set aside. Place the cooked potatoes and cooked beetroot in a food processor, or alternatively in a bowl and use the hand blender, reduce the puree and reserve it.
3. After stewing for 5 min., add the mushrooms and let them cook until they get soft and tender with no water. Meanwhile add the lemon juice, garlic powder, jelly rice and chili flakes.
4. When the mushrooms are well cooked add the potato and the beetroot with the salt. Stir well until it becomes a dough is soft heat to release the flavours. Taste it and rectify seasonings, if necessary. Add the leenseed and olive oil together, mixing well in order to get a more compact dough when moulding the burgers, and turn off the heat.
5. Place the mixture in a refrigerator to cool it down, as the burgers need to be moulded at room temperature to avoid sticking to your hands.
6. To mould the burgers, remove a portion of the dough and make a ball. After press with both hands to shape it as a burger (you can make them the size you wish). Then wrap them in breadcrumbs.
7. The burgers can both be fried or cooked in the oven. To fry them use a teaspoon of coconut oil in a non stick pan fry and when it becomes hot place the burgers and let them fry for 4 minutes in each side.
8. To cook in the oven grease an oven tray with coconut oil and place it in the oven at 200º in the grill function for around 10 minutes. Beware not to overroast the burgers!!!!
