A blog dedicated to testing the recipes from "1000 Vegan Recipes" by Robin Robertson, but with a twist. My personal challenge is to make the recipes with no added oil, and using only whole grains.
I love veggie burgers, on a bun, with all the fixins', so I have really enjoyed trying the burger recipes in this book - five so far, out of eleven. "Some-Kinda-Nut Burgers" (page 120) calls for 1 cup of unsalted mixed nuts, any kind you want.I opened my freezer and pulled out all my zip locked packages of nuts and seeds and ended up with a dab each of walnuts, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pine nuts, and pumpkin seeds.You certainly don't have to use that many different varieties of nuts and seeds, but I had them, so I used them.In addition to the ground up nuts, the rest of the burger contains onion, carrot, gluten flour, oats, peanut butter, and a few herbs and spices.As usual, I omitted the oil when sautéing the veggies.The recipe says this will make four burgers, but I ended up with six.Probably this is a matter of taste, and how thick you like your burger patties.I served them on whole wheat rolls with mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. This is definitely rich food, but if you make six burgers like I did, the amount of nuts (including the peanut butter) per burger breaks down to just over 1 ½ tablespoons each.
