Everyone loves beef patties, myself included. While I was on the elimination diet, I decided to experiment with my ingredients and came up with a gluten free, dairy free (could be made vegan/vegetarian) version that is still equally as delicious.

What You will need: 

For the crust: 

1 cup of brown rice flour

1 cup of GF oat flour (or can sub with Sorghum flour) 

1/2 cup of arrowroot flour

1 tsp xanthan gum 

1 tsp salt 

2 tsps turmeric (this is optional but helps to give the yellow colour in beef patties)

1/2 cup of cold hard vegan butter, or 1/4 cup + 2 tbsps of olive oil 

* If you aren't vegan, gluten free, dairy free, feel free to use traditional butter. 

3/4 cup ice water

For the filling: 

1/4 pound (250 grams) of raw ground beef (I used turkey)

1/4 cup onions finely diced

1/4 tsp curry powder

1/4 tsp dried thyme 

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground pepper 

Instructions:

In a large bowl, pour in all dry ingredients.

* For the oat flour, if you don't have it feel free to grind your own which is what I did. :) 

Whisk them all together for a couple minute to ensure that the flours are well incorporated. 

Create a hole in the middle of the bowl and pour in your olive oil, (or whichever oil/butter you decide to use) and your cold water. This allows you to mix the solids with the liquids gradually and achieve the texture we are looking for for the dough. Once you have your dough, let it sit in the fridge for an hour. 

In the meantime, you can prep your filling by mixing the onion and spices into your meat.

you can cook that on medium heat and set it aside. 

Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees. While waiting, take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out onto parchment paper. To make it easier, I also placed a parchment paper on top for a smoother glide. Take any circular shaped bowl or cut out and cut out as many as you can. Place just enough meat into your dough so that you can fold it over into a half moon shape. Use a fork to create the indents on the outer rim of the patties. 

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe and let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try! 

Happy eating,
