Preparation
Rehydrate your Ofene Jackfruit
Rehydrate the minced jackfruit according to the instructions. See separate guidelines.
Mix the dry ingredients
Combine the oat flour, walnut flour, and tapioca flour in a large bowl. If using oatmeal and whole walnuts, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground, then mix with the tapioca flour.
Make the patty mixture
Add the rehydrated jackfruit, cooked green lentils, nutritional yeast, onion, olive oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, spices, the flour mixture, and agave syrup to a food processor. Pulse until a moist, cohesive mixture forms. You can alternatively mix everything in a large bowl and knead for a while until it comes together.
Chill the mixture
Transfer the jackfruit patty mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Shape and cook the patties
Heat a large pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil. Form the mixture into four thick patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp on the edges. Brush lightly with barbecue sauce if desired.
Assemble the burgers and serve
Add the patties to buns with your favorite salad toppings and enjoy!
