Beet This Burger

(Serves 6)

 

This burger comes from Olinda Cho-Forsythe, a native of Guatemala and a

full-blooded Mayan. She developed her burger recipe in the kitchens of the

Gran Fraternidad Universal, an organization dedicated to world peace and to

promoting a vegetarian diet through its centers and restaurants throughout

Latin America. The unusual addition of 1 tablespoon of grated beets is just

enough to give this burger a pleasant color.

 

1 tablespoon finely grated raw beet

1/2 cup cooked oats

1 cup uncooked oats

1/2 cup coarsely ground walnuts

1/4 cup coarsely ground almonds

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)

1/4 cup minced green pepper

1/4 cup minced onion

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon ground sage

1/4 teaspoon mustard powder

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon instant dry vegetable broth

tomato slices, for garnish

 

Mix all ingredients together well. Form into 6 patties and grill until cooked

through. Serve on whole wheat rolls with tomato slices and your favorite

condiments.
