Last night I taught another 7 meals for $40 at the Honest Weight Food Co-op and use the same recipes from a couple of weeks ago. We had a great turn out and wonderful questions. Thank you everyone who braved the bitter cold and joined the class.

I adapted this Japanese style hamburgers to make a beef and sprouts Japanese inspired patties

Today I made more changes and my version made 7 medium patties

8 oz. ground beef from Tarbox Farm
2 large handfuls of lentil sprouts
1 cup of oats
1 egg
I made my “tempero” (seasoning) in the blender. Add all ingredients bellow to the blender cup with olive oil to make a paste

1/2 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup parsley
1/2 cup scallions
3/4 tsp. salt
, 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper or to taste

High Heat Oil for cooking
Combine the meat, sprout, oats and eggs with the blender seasoning using your hands until it comes together as a patty. Add more oats if too wet.
Divide into 7-8 portions. Form into patties. The recipe said to “Indent the middle with your thumb – this makes sure the middle gets cooked evenly.”
Cook the patties on medium-high heat until brown on both sides. Turn heat to low, cover and steam-cook the patties for about 10 minutes.
