Ingredients

For the burgers

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free tamari sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 lb (450g) organic ground chicken
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes or grape tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley chopped

For the pineapple salsa

  • 1/2 fresh pineapple peeled and cored and sliced into cubes
  • 1 sweet red pepper chopped
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro chopped
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp dried hot chili flakes optional

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • For the salsa, brush pineapple with olive oil and grill until lightly browned. Chop into small pieces. In a medium size bowl, combine with red pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and pepper. Place in fridge and let the flavours mingle for an hour or two.
  • For the burgers, in a large bowl whisk the egg and tamari or coconut aminos. Add the ground flaxseeds, chicken, onion, garlic, sundried tomatoes and parsley. Mix well. Form into 4 to 6 patties, depending how large you like your burgers.
  • Grill burgers for 15-20 minutes or until completely cooked. Serve with pineapple salsa and a big raw salad.

Notes

If the burger seems too wet, you can add 2 more tbsp of flaxseeds. If you want to make this egg-free, just use 4 tbsp of flaxseeds total.
