[recipe repost and review] Bean and Veggie Burgers ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

I was looking through our recipe files

for a quick-easy veggie burger to try,

and I tried this one in our Sandwiches

folder that was shared in the past by

Genie [genie bottle]. It was so good and

both my daughter and I loved it.

I included my changes and additions

in brackets:

 

Bean and Veggie Burgers

 

1 - 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats

[1/2 cup dry bread crumbs]

1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 small carrot, shredded

1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons ketchup [added 1 Tbs. taco sauce]

3/4 teaspoon salt

 

In food processor bowl with metal blade, combine all. Process with on/off

pulses until coarsely chopped. DO NOT PUREE. Shape mixture into 4 patties,

1/2 inch thick.

 

[ I chop-pulsed the veggies, and then sauted them until soft in a little

vegetable oil, then I

added that mixture to the chop-pulsed bean, oatmeal, breadcrumbs and sauces

mixture. I

stirred together to combine well and chilled the mixture in the refrigerator for

about an

hour. This made the mixture firm enough to form into patties easily.]

 

Spray broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place patties on sprayed pan.

Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until patties are

thoroughly heated, turning once.

 

[i fried them on the stove in a pan coated with a bit of avocado oil for about 4

minutes on

each side. I didn't want to heat the house with the oven and they came out

perfectly this

way]

 

Serve on a bun with your favorite extras!

 

[We had ours on a whole wheat bun with Vegenaise, sliced cucumber, tomatoes, and

lettuce ~ delicious!]

Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations,

habitually practiced in our social intercourse, give a

greater charm to the character than the display of great

talents and accomplishments.
