Gourmet Raw Cheeseburger

These vegan burgers take a bit of prep work, but the effort is more than worth it. Recipe by Stephanie Jeffs

Ingredients (Makes12 burgers)

- For the Burger

• 1 cup Sunflower Seeds, soaked overnight
• 1 cup Buckwheat, soaked overnight
• 1 cup Flaxseed, soaked overnight
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 10 Sundried Tomatoes, rehydrated (if using jarred then wash off the oil)
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 2 tsp Chia Seeds
• 2 tsp Water
• ½ cup chopped Parsley

- For the cheese:

• ½ cup Cashew Nuts, soaked for 2 hours
• 3 tbsp Water
• 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast Flakes

Method

Place all ingredients (except chia seeds) in a food processor and blend until it reaches the consistency of burger meat. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the chia seeds. Form into burger patties and leave in the fridge for up to 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to bloat. Dehydrate on 40 overnight (8 hours), turning once. If you do not have a dehydrator then you can use the oven on 50 with the door ajar and cook for 4 hours.
 
For the cheese:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high. Pour the mixture on top of each burger during the last hour of dehydration and continue to dry in the dehydrator/oven.
