LIVE GARDEN BURGERS
Recipe from the COMPLETE BOOK OF RAW FOODS by Baird and Rodwell (editors)
created by Victoria Boutenko
Serves 10 ~ Special Equipment ~ Food Processor
(You can cut the recipe in half, as I did)
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound of your favorite nuts, unsoaked and ground (I used cashews)
1 pound carrots, chopped (if you like a nuttier taste, dec. the amount of carrots)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, very ripe banana or raisins) (I used agave)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 tablespoons poultry seasonings (If you are in SRQ, the Granary, on Stickney Point has this in the bulk spice section towards the back of the store)
2-3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast (optional)
sea salt to taste
paprika (If you so desire. I left this out and it still tasted WONDERFUL)
Directions:
Grind the nuts in a food processor. Combine the carrots, onion, sweetener, oil, seasoning, yeast (if using) and sea salkt and grind in a food processor.
Mix everything together well. If mixture isn't firm enough, add one of two of the following thickeners: dill weed, dried garlic, dried onion, dried parsley flakes, nutritional yeast, psylliium husk powder, flax seed.
Form into balls, cutlets or fillets and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
Variation: To make "fishburgers" add seaweed (such as dulse, kelp or nori) to the mixture.
These were so GOOD!!! ENJOY!!!
