Does anyone have a recipe for veggie burgers? |
|
I've eaten at a couple of places recently where they made their own veggie burgers. I'd like to try and make some. I'm looking for recipes that people have tried.
Thanks :hi:

1. One of my favorites - Nut and Seed Patties |
|
Check up in the recipes post too.
Nut and Seed Patties
1 c. raw sunflower seeds 1 c. raw peanuts 1 c. chopped fresh mushrooms 1 med. onion, chopped 1 c. extra sharp Cheddar cheese grated 1/2 c. tahini 1 T. soy sauce 1/2 c. chopped parsley
Process the sunflower seeds and peanuts in a food processor or blender until chopped fine. Mix with all other ingredients. You can leave out the cheese and it will be fine. Form into patties (depends on size - can get six small ones from this recipe).
Fry in a little oil until crispy on the outside.
Serve on a roll with all the fixings.

2. If you like black bean burgers, the recipe in Veganomicon is great. |
|
They're the best I've ever made and they've become our favorites by far. The vital wheat gluten gives them a nice, firm consistency that is often lacking in veggie burgers.
2 cups or 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten 1/2 cup plain whole wheat bread crumbs 1 teaspoon chile powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon tomato paste or ketchup 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro (optional) 2 cloves garlic 1/2 small onion About 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus olive oil spray Whole wheat buns
Mash the beans with a fork in a mixing bowl. You don't want to puree them; just get them mashed so that no whole beans are left, but leave some half-beans.
Add the wheat gluten, bread crumbs, chile powder, cumin, water and tomato paste (and cilantro) but don't mix yet. Use a microplane grater to grate the garlic in. Use the large holes on a box grater to grate the onion.
Mix everything together with a fork and then proceed to mix with your hands until the mixture is firm and uniformly mixed (about a minute).
Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
Divide the burger mixture into six equal pieces. Roll each piece into a firm ball. Use your palm to press the ball down on a clean surface to form a patty that is about 1-1/2 inch thick. Press so that the patty is flat on both sides. Make six patties.
Pour a thin layer of olive oil into the pan. Cook the patties three at a time for 5 minutes on each side, gently but firmly pressing down on them with a spatula. Spray with olive oil before turning them over, for uniform browning. Once cooked, the patties should be very firm when you press down on them.
Serve warm on burger buns.
