NUT BURGERS

Steps:

• In a frying pan, saute the diced onion in olive oil until soft, translucent and just starting to brown.
• Pulse the nuts in a food processor until fine, and just sliightly grainy.
• Make the vegetable broth with boiling water and stock powder/bouillon.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground nuts, sauteed onion, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, herbs, chia seeds and vegetable broth.
• Set the mixture aside for five minutes to allow it to cool a little and the chia seeds to soak.
• Shape the mixture into round patties. If the mixture is a little too sticky, add some more breadcrumbs.
• In a frying pan, heat up a little oil on medium high heat, and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until crisp and brown.

NUT BURGERS (VEGETARIAN)

Steps:

• Place walnuts and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mash garbanzo beans with a fork, or chop in a food processor. Stir in the onion, egg, parsley, and toasted nuts. Season with pepper and seasoning blend, and mix well.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Divide the bean mixture into 2 patties, and fry in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until well browned and heated through. Place a slice of cheese over each patty, and remove from heat.
• Place the pita round in the same dry skillet the nuts were in, and heat for about 1 minute on each side. Cut the round in half, spread ranch dressing inside of each, and line the pockets with romaine leaves. Place a cheesy patty into each one, and top with sliced tomato and avocado. Serve with tortilla or potato chips.

CARROT RICE NUT BURGER

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 45 minutes.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Using a food processor, grind the toasted cashews and sunflower seeds to a fine meal. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the onion and carrots in the food processor until finely shredded, and mix with the ground nuts. Place the cooked rice and olive oil in the food processor, and pulse until smooth. Mix into the bowl. Season with salt. Form the mixture into patties.
• Oil the grill grate. Grill the patties 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
