Barbecue Nut Burgers

FROM: Cooking for 2

 

Prep/total time: 30 minutes

 

¼ cup unsalted cashews

¼ cup pecan halves

2/3 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs, divided

¼ cup mashed potato flakes

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon dried minced onion

1 garlic clove, minced

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon canola oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon barbecue sauce

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

1 teaspoon molasses

2 lettuce leaves

2 hamburger buns, split

 

In a small food processor, combine cashews and pecans; cover and process until

ground. Transfer to a bowl; add ½ cup bread crumbs, potato flakes, egg, onion,

garlic and salt. Shape into two ½ inch thick patties; roll in remaining bread

crumbs.

 

In a small nonstick skillet, cook patties in oil over medium heat for 3-4

minutes on each side or until golden.

 

For sauce, in a small bowl, combine the honey, ketchup, barbecue sauce,

vinegar and molasses. Serve patties on lettuce-lined buns with sauce.

 

Yield: 2 servings

 

Nutrition Facts: 1 burger with 4 teaspoons sauce equals 550 calories, 26 g

fat (4 g saturated fat), 106 mg cholesterol, 930 mg sodium, 71 g carbohydrate, 5

g fiber, 14 g protein.

 

NOTE: Since I’m trying to cut down on calories also, I’d probably not do the

sauce and if I put it on bread, I’d use my diet bread or something. Still

though it sounded interesting.

 

 

 

Don't pick lemons.

I love nuts in homemade patties. They add make the patties have a little

crunch and are more filling.
