Nut Burgers Vegetarian Recipes

NUT BURGERS

Steps:

• In a frying pan, saute the diced onion in olive oil until soft, translucent and just starting to brown.
• Pulse the nuts in a food processor until fine, and just sliightly grainy.
• Make the vegetable broth with boiling water and stock powder/bouillon.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground nuts, sauteed onion, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, herbs, chia seeds and vegetable broth.
• Set the mixture aside for five minutes to allow it to cool a little and the chia seeds to soak.
• Shape the mixture into round patties. If the mixture is a little too sticky, add some more breadcrumbs.
• In a frying pan, heat up a little oil on medium high heat, and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until crisp and brown.

LENTIL-WALNUT BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine walnuts, breadcrumbs, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; process until finely ground. Add lentils and 1 tablespoon oil; pulse until coarsely chopped (some lentils should remain whole).
• In a large bowl, whisk egg. Add lentil mixture; mix well. Divide into 4 equal-size parts; roll into balls, and flatten with the palm of your hand into 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add burgers; cook over medium-low heat until crisp and browned, turning gently with a thin-edged spatula, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with Yogurt-Cilantro Sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and knead well.
• Pinch off 16 portions of mixture, roll them into smooth balls, and with wet hands press out the balls into patties.
• Arrange patties on a lightly oiled baking tray and place into oven until they dry out a little and darken slightly (around 20 minutes for my oven).
• (Burgers can now be refrigerated or frozen until needed).
• Pan-fry in oil until hot.

NUT BURGERS VEGETARIAN

Steps:

• Grind onion in food processor.
• Add nuts and oats, pulse to chop.
• Add everything but the oil and process more, but not too finely.
• Add liquid as needed. Mixture should be moist but not loose.
• Let mixture rest a few minutes then shape into 4 burgers. (This can be refrigerated for up to a day, but be sure to bring it up to room temperature before cooking or they'll fall apart when you cook them.)
• Put oil in a nonstick skillet and turn fire to medium.
• When hot, add burgers.
• Cook 5 mins each side or until browned. Do not poke at them or they will fall apart.
• Lower heat a bit and cook another 3-4 mins so that they firm up.
• Serve on buns as you like. Chutney is suggested. I'm a blue cheese lover myself. Voila!
