Ingredients
  

For the patties

  • 3 tbsp. flax seeds, ground
  • 2 c. quinoa, cooked
  • 1 c. carrots, grated
  • 1 c. cashews, ground
  • 3 garlic cloves, diced
  • 1/2 c. breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

For the hatch chili sauce

  • 8 hatch chile peppers, hot
  • 1/2 c. vegenaise

Instructions
 

For the hatch chili sauce

  • Rinse, dry and then roast the peppers for about 10 minutes on each side, until browned. Watch them, you don't want them to burn.
  • Remove from heat, place in a large bowl, and cover with saran wrap. Let sit for 15 minutes until the skin can be peeled easily.
  • Remove the skins and the seeds and discard. Chop the peppers, and mix with the vegenaise. Set aside.

For the patties

  • In a small bowl, combine the ground flax with 9 tbsp. warm water, stir well, and set aside for a few minutes to thicken.
  • Place the cooked quinoa, shredded carrots, ground cashews, diced garlic, breadcrumbs, and all spices in a large bowl, and mix well. Stir in the flax mixture until all ingredients are combined. Form into patties.
  • Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large pan, and add the patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve these as burgers with buns and your favorite toppings (I used sliced onions, avocado and tomato) and top with a large spoonful of the hatch chili sauce. Enjoy!
