INSTRUCTIONS 

Holiday Patties
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and heat over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and kale. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the mushrooms, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until vegetables are tender.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, cooked green lentils, cooked brown rice, oat flour, ground flax seeds, nutritional yeast, walnuts, dried cranberries, and caper brine. Mix VERY well, mashing the mixture to helps the ingredients bind together. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  5. Note: If the mixture doesn't hold together easily, blend about 1/3 of the mixture using a food processor or immersion blender. Recombine.
  6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  7. Portion mixture into 1/2 cup patties approx. 1/2" thick. Brush both sides of patties with olive oil. Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 15 minutes, flip and bake for another 15 minutes. Spread with cranberry glaze and bake for 5-10 minutes or until glaze appears set.
Brussels Sprout Slaw
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Add shredded Brussels sprouts and minced garlic. Sauté briefly, until slaw is tender but crisp. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
Assembly
