Instructions
Sauté onions, celery and sun-dried tomatoes over low- medium heat until well done
In a food processor, grate the carrots and zucchini, empty into a large mixing bowl
In a food processor, blend the sautéed vegetable, tamari, tahini, miso and lemon juice, add to the large mixing bowl
In a food processor, pulse the toasted almonds into a rough meal (flour-like with some chunks), add to the mixing bowl
Add all remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl, combine well with a spatula or hands (using latex gloves)
Pre-heat oven to 350F
Form burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, using a mold (I use a small ramekin)
Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes, cool and store
