Prepare the mixture

10 min

Mix the oat flakes, carrots, browned onion, eggs, and Parmigiano Reggiano, soy sauce, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Let it rest for 10 minutes, so that the oats absorb the moisture and the mixture becomes more compact.

Shape the burgers

Wet your hands and form 4 flat, firm burgers, approximately 150g (5.29 oz) each. If the dough is too soft and won't hold its shape, add more rolled oats until you get a moldable consistency.

Cook and assemble

15 min

Anoint one nonstick skillet and cook the burgers over medium heat For 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Don't press them down, as this will break them. Serve in sandwiches with yogurt sauce, lettuce, and tomato.

Chef's Tips

Let it rest the mixture for 10 minutes before shaping it, because the oats swell, absorb moisture and make the burgers more stable during cooking.
