Ingredients:
- 500g sweet potato
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 80g bulgur
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 100g walnuts
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano and paprika

- 5-6 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:
1.Bake the sweet potatoes, in a preheated oven at 180°C, for 40 minutes or until soft.
2.In a small pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive, the bulgur and a pinch of salt. Stir well, before adding 160ml of boiling water.
3.Bring to boil, lower the heat, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes.
4.In a pan, on a medium-low heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the onions. Sauté for 15minutes or until nicely golden.
5.In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until finely crushed.
6.Once the potatoes are baked, remove from the oven, cut in the middle (lengthwise) and remove the flesh.
7.Pulse the potato flesh with the walnuts for a couple of minutes before you add the remaining of the ingredients (except the olive oil and sesame seeds).
8.Once the mixture is well combined, taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference if needed.
9.Shape 4 burger patties and coat each one in the sesame seeds.
10.In a pan, on a medium-high heat, add the remaining of the olive oil, and shallow fry the patties for 3-5 minutes on each side.
11.Serve in a burger bun with mayo, lettuce, red onions, avocado and sriracha!
Notes:
*You can refrigerate the patties for 10 minutes, before frying them. This will help holding the shape.
*You can prepare the mixture in advance and keep the patties in the fridge for up to 2 days.
*You can also bake it or cook it into an air-fryer for few minutes.
Enjoy!
