Tasty Veggie Burger

 

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1-1/2 cups carrots, peeled and grated

1-1/2 cups zucchini, grated

1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1-1/2 tsp. ground coriander

2 TB peanut butter

2 TB fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs

1 egg, beaten

Salt and groudn black pepper

2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

 

~~~To serve~~~

2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

2 TB ketchup or relish

4 sesame seed burger buns

2 TB reduced fat mayonnaise, optional

4 iceberg lettuce leaves, shredded

1 shallot, thinly sliced

 

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add

the onion and garlic,

and cook until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir frequently. Add the

carrots and zucchini, and sauté until the vegetables have softened, about 10

minutes. Stir frequently.

 

Stir in the ground cumin and coriander, peanut butter, and fresh cilantro;

mix well. Season with salt

and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

 

Mix in the bread crumbs and egg until thoroughly combined. The mixture should

bind together well.

Shape the mixture into 4 thick burgers about 4 inches in diameter.

 

Wipe the skillet with a paper towel and then heat the oil over medium heat.

Add the burgers and cook

until firm and golden, about 5 minutes on each side.

 

Stir the tomatoes and ketchup together. Split the hamburger buns horizontally

and toast the cut sides.

Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (if using) on each bun, then add some lettuce

and a burger to each.

 

Spread with the tomato mixture and top with the shallot slices. Replace the

tops of the buns and serve.

 

Serves 4.
