Black-Eyed Pea And Sesame Burgers With Sweet Soy Kale

• 1 cup black eyed peas cooked, rinsed and drained
• 1 tablespoon tahini see note
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 green onion greens only, thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
• 2 whole wheat buns optional
• 2 cups kale leaves chopped
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place the black-eyed peas, tahini, sesame seeds, and green onions in a small food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are blended and you have a thick paste that can be formed into patties. The peas should still be chunky.
3. Transfer the black-eyed pea mixture to a small bowl and stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, and soy sauce.
4. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
5. Divide the pea mixture in half. Form each half into a patty about 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on the baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to gently flip the patties. Do this carefully, as they will break easily at this stage. Bake 10 more minutes.
6. To prepare the kale, heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kale and cook about 1 minute. Add the water and stir until the kale begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remove the pan from the heat.
7. To serve, place the patties on a bun (if using), or on a plate, and top each with half of the kale.
