- Add the finely chopped kale until it wilts and is cooked.
- Add the cumin, coriander, chili powder, chili flakes, and salt at this time.
- Add the cooked and chopped beets and garbanzo beans in the food processor and pulse to make a nicely blended mixture.
- Next, add the kale onion mix to the mixture above, and blend until it is cohesive.
- Empty the contents onto a bowl and add the mashed sweet potato, crumbled tofu, breadcrumbs, and almond flour.
- Taste and season with salt accordingly.
- The mixture will be a little moist, keep in the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking.
