Good Veggie Burger Recipe?

*bump*

I'm always down for new recipes

Don't know so much about veggie burgers but these black bean burgers are FANTASTIC! I make huge batches and freeze them. My meat eating boyfriend is obsessed with them. They pair perfectly with some lite chipotle mayo. YUM!

I would definitely put this more in the "bean burger" family, but it's my fav.: http://www.foodista.com/recipe/RSV67BDM/black-bean-and-quinoa-burgers

I basically just "eyeball" it, though. I use whatever beans I have in the house, usually black, and frequently I don't even measure how much I'm using, though I know I use a lot - the equivalent of one of those double sized cans (though I've been making them from dry lately to cut down on sodium). Then I will take one raw cup of quinoa and make it according to package directions. I combine these with a quarter of an onion (whatever color I have handy), some garlic (I love garlic, so a few cloves) all in the food processor. Then I add as many whole wheat breadcrumbs as it takes to make it seem almost dry, but still cohesive (I made some crumbs from about-to-go-bad bread - just process and bake until they're dry)

Sometimes there's so much that you have to do two batches in an 11c. food processor to mix it all. Despite this, you may after you've tried it once or twice want to double the recipe since it's kind of a mess to make it and it freezes really well.

To cook them I'll put them in a pan with a little Pam sprayed first - 5-7min. each side over med. heat, or until hot and a little browned. I've also crumbled them up and put over rice, topped with salsa and avocado. A friend of mine has made balls out of them to make pretend meatball subs. Sky--and seasoning!--is the limit

I've found that if you use a bean base (white bean, garbanzo, etc.) you can add some egg to hold it together (cage free of course) and then add your spices and veggies to that. I've made them with a variety of veggies and then I just fry them up and eat them like a burger on toasted bread. YUM

I've posted this on another topic recently but thought it would fit here too - our chick peas in uk are what you call garbanzo beans!

It's good, quick and low cal
Hope you like it!

When I make juice, I save the vegetable pulp. I mix that with TVP, some oil and an egg to hold it together. I make patties and/or meatballs out of that. Sometimes I coat with Italian bread crumbs, if I'm going to roast or fry.

I'll bring this up to him

As in vomit lol :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:
