PROCESS
- Add the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar to the blender and pulse.
- Next add in the garlic, chili powder, miso, cayenne, cumin, salt, and chia seeds. Blend again.
- Add onion, tomato, sun-dried tomatoes, and corn. If you start having problems blending, just use a spatula to move the mixture down and make sure everything is getting blended.
- Pour this mixture into a bowl and clean out your blender.
- Grind sunflower and sesame seeds in a high-speed blender or coffee grinder.
- Add your ground seeds and nutritional yeast in with the mixture already in your bowl, and mix everything together with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, assemble your breading mixture by just tossing together your ground flax, chili pepper, and salt.
- To make our patties, use a large soup spoon to scoop it up, and form into a patty shape, coat each patty with your breading mixture, then lay it on your dehydrator sheet, or on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Dehydrate overnight, or bake in an oven for about an hour at 200 degrees F, flip them, and then bake for one more hour.
- Finally, let's make our BBQ sauce. First add all the liquids - nama shoyu, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, into the blender, as well as your spices - paprika, cayenne, and salt. Blend.
- Now add in your tomatoes, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes. Blend again.
