-----------------------
Rinse the lentils, add them to boiling water, and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain in a sieve, rinse, and let them drain. Rinse the quinoa and simmer it in the vegetable broth over low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes. Rinse the beets and simmer them in water with the skin on for about 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the beet(s).
Peel the beets and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Dice the cucumber, finely dice the onion, roughly chop the herbs, and shell and chop the pistachios. Mix all the dressing ingredients together.
Place all the ingredients in a bowl, pour the dressing over them, and mix well.
Mix the flax seeds with 4 tablespoons of warm water and let them soak for 10 minutes. Roughly chop the mushrooms, and finely dice the onion and garlic. Sauté the mushrooms in a dry pan until their liquid has released. Add a little oil, the onion, and the garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, then add the spinach to the pan and stir until wilted. Remove from the heat.
Grate the tempeh into strips, for example, using a grater. Now, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix, and knead lightly. Season to taste, let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, and then form 12 patties. Place them on a baking sheet, optionally brush lightly with oil, and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
