Hi I have used 2 recipes for "burgers" that we really liked. they are from the book 100% Vegetarian - eating naturally from your grocery store by Julianne Pickle

Oat Burgers

Bring the following to a boil & simmer 3-5 min.
3 c. water
1/4 c soy sauce
3/4 c finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt - opt
3/4 tsp. sweet basil

then add the following and stir gently:
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts or unsalted sunflower seeds *(i use these)
3 c. rolled oats

Return to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to stand 5 minutes.

Form into burgers while mixture is still hot by using:
1. use a burger press
2. spoon mixture into a canning jar ring on an oiled cookie sheet. press mixture into jar ring with back of spoon. Remove jar ring and repeat.
3. if using your hands, allow mixture to cool - but i have found that the mixture doesn't hold together quite as well.

BAKE: 350 for 30 min. on the first side
FLIP BURGERS
Bake 15 min on the second side.

varation - add 1/2 c. celery when you add the onions.
serve as a sandwich or with gravy.

These can be made successfully made ahead of time and frozen.
These burgers are a general favorite.

enjoy!!


the second recipe is a lentil burger.
All the recipes in her book are simple with common ingredients for a family and very yummy.
