This vegan burger uses flaxseed as an egg substitute to hold together the ingredients for these patties. It’s made with ground oats, chickpeas, bell peppers and peanut butter and is seasoned with flavorful Moroccan spices, harissa (a Morocca chili paste) and ras el hanout.

1 red bell pepper, seeds and stem removed, coarsely chopped 

⅓ cup fresh mint leaves 

Zest and juice from one lemon 

2 large garlic cloves 

2 tsp. ras el hanout (use one that is a little sweeter with more cinnamon flavors and little-to-no turmeric/curry)*
