Too good to be vegan!  A local restaurant inspired me to make this flavourful stack.  The patty is also gluten free.

First, set out the spices:  garlic powder, dried chives, turmeric, salt, onion powder and smoked paprika.

Then mix with a puree of beans (nearly any kind will do).  To help hold things together add tofu, oats and white rice flour.

Form the patty and give it a good fry:

Add some char for a deep flavour.

I baked fresh burger buns just for this:

Completed with lettuce, tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, avocado and grilled onions.  Served with a salad made of: fresh-from-the-garden mixed greens, toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds.
