Cashew Nut Veggie Burgers
Aug 26th, 2010 | By admin | Category: Featured, Garlic, Recipes, Rice and Beans, ThymeThese homemade veggie/nut burgers make a great alternative to store-bought no-meat burger alternatives. This is a particularly good idea if you have leftover rice you need to use up.
Ingredients:
- 100g unsalted cashew nuts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- ½ small leek, chopped
- 100g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 100g cooked brown rice (50g uncooked)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 40g gruyere cheese, grated
- 50g fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 egg yolk
- flour, for dusting
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil, for frying
Directions:
1. In a preheated 350 degree oven, roast the cashew nuts on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes. Watch them closely, for they brown fast.
2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onion, leek, mushroom, garlic and thyme until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute.
3. Pulse the cashews in a food processor a few times until they are coarsely chopped. Add to the vegetable/rice mixture with the rest of the ingredients.
4. Form into patties and refrigerate for at least an hour.
5. Dredge the patties with a small amount of flour and saute in the sunflower oil in a non-stick pan, about 3 minutes to a side.
6. Enjoy!
