Veggie Burger Recipe

I have been cooking for a friend who is undergoing chemo treatments. She eats chicken and fish and all things veggie. I made these delicious veggies burgers for her yesterday, well we ate them too! This is the best recipe for veggie burgers, I have found so far, and it is from Whitewater Cooks. I guess I am obsessed with this cookbook since I got it for Christmas, but every recipe I have cooked from it, is fabulous! This book is definitely a run out and buy at once kind of cookbook!

Whitewater Veggie Burgers

Ingredients

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp. cumin

1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder

1-19 oz can black beans, rinsed, drained and roughly pureed

1 tsp. oregano

1/4 cup parsley, chopped (or cilantro... yuck)

2 tbsp. sesame oil

1/2 cup almonds, roasted and chopped

1 cup sunflower seeds, roasted and chopped

3 cups fine bread crumbs

1/2 cup soy sauce

5 eggs

2 cups carrots, grated

2 cups oats

flour for dredging

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Method

In a large skillet, saute onions and garlic in oil. Place in a large mixing bowl and let it cool a little. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well and shape into patties. Dredge lightly in flour. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan to brown the burgers on both sides, you may need to do this in batches with more oil.

Serve on your favourite buns with your favourite toppings!
