Veggie Burgers for Dee

[Guest guest]

Hi Dee! I've included my own recipe for nut burgers (the second

recipe which follows) which are outrageously good but not so low in

fat. Still, I think most kids would definitely enjoy them. And I've

always wanted to try these broccoli burgers so let me know if you try

them and like them.

Nan's Nut Burgers

 

Recipe By : Nanette Blanchard

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Burgers Sandwiches

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 eggs

3 tablespoons water

1/2 cup ground pecans or walnuts

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs from 1 1/2 slices bread

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground sage or savory

1/2 cup finely minced onion

2 cloves garlic -- minced

2 tablespoons canola oil

 

In a bowl, beat eggs with water. Add nuts, oats, breadcrumbs, salt,

savory, onion and garlic and mix well. Heat nonstick skillet over

medium high heat and add oil. Shape mixture into 4-6 small patties or

about a dozen meatballs and add to skillet. Let brown for 3-4 minutes

on one side, then turn and brown another 3 minutes on second side.

These patties are best if they are well browned.

 

Add 1/2 cup water to skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook

patties until all water is evaporated. Serve on hamburger buns with

all the trimmings, or with mushroom gravy, or with your favorite

spaghetti recipe.

NOTES : These are really the best homemade veggie burgers I've ever

had. You can also use 1 cup of oats and omit the breadcrumbs if you

like and play around with the spices. This mixture also works well

for meatballs. The best method for making good veggie burgers that

stay together and have a good texture is to add water to the browned

patties and let them steam a bit. This extra cooking step will

improve any homemade veggie burgers.
