vegetarian burgers and patties recipe

vegetarian burgers and patties recipe



Chef has been so excited to post this recipe it truly is so delicious and very addictive.

We really enjoyed eating these vegetarian burgers for our dinner, the burgers really are packed with flavour, even if you are not a vegetarian I can guarantee that you will not miss any meat when you eat this meal.

You can either griddle/pan fry the mix into vegetarian patties that have a more softer texture and flavour or you can cook the mix in your oven for vegetarian burgers.

Chef has made both versions of the vegan burger today to show you the difference between the two.

You can eat the burgers on a lovely bread roll with a dressing of your choice and salad.


Ingredients


2 Cups Buckwheat
1 Cup Green split peas
1 Red pepper/capsicum (diced very small)
1 medium Onion (diced very small)
2 Carrots (diced very small)
1 Green Chilli (de-seeded + diced finely)
4-5 Small Garlic Cloves + 2Inch Fresh Ginger (chopped + blended together with a drop of water)
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1/2 tsp Ground cumin
1/2 tsp Ground coriander
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Garam masala
1/4 tsp Paprika
Salt
Ground black pepper
Ground ground oats


How to make vegetarian burgers/ patties


First cook the carrots in some water until soft.

Rinse the buck wheat, bring to the boil in salted water then simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the buckhwheat has gone soft and swells - drain and leave to the side.

Rinse the split peas, put the peas into the pressure cooker with some water, bring to the boil then turn heat right down and cook for 7-10 minutes - drain and again leave to the side.


Split Peas


Put the oil in a pan with the onions and fry for a few minutes, you do not want to brown the onions and fully cook them, you want the onions slightly cooked so they do not have that raw onion taste.

Turn the heat right down then add the garlic/ginger and all the powdered spices apart from paprika and black pepper - turn off the heat.


Blend/grind up the split peas and 3/4 of your buckwheat.

Place into a bowl add some salt and black pepper to season, mix well.


Stir the green chillis, carrots and diced red pepper/capsicum into the spiced onion.

Mix well then add to the bowl of buckwheat and mix well again.
