Instructions
Make your flax egg mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered flax seed & ½ cup warm water until well blended and thick. Place your flax egg mix in the fridge for at least 15 minutes but ideally closer to an hour.
Meanwhile, boil your rice and lentils seperately making sure they don't get too mushy
Process seperately (but using same processor) the pecan nuts, sunflower seeds and whole wheat bread - place in large bowl
Finely chop your onion and mushroom and add to large bowl.
Add all the remining ingredients except for flax-seed egg mixture and combine well
Then add in the flax egg mix, and using your hands continue to mix until well combined
Form into tight round patties and transfer onto a pre-greased baking tray, and place in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. This helps bind them.
Griddle fry or place on barbecue grill for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until they have a deep golden colour.
Meanwhile lightly toast the inside of the burger bun, place the patty on the bottom bun and layer with your favorite burger options.
You can also bake the burgers in a 400 degree F oven for approximately 15 minutes on each side until golden.
Freeze extra uncooked burgers for another day.
