friday night dinners: veggie burger challenge

June 27, 2014 By SoyDivision Leave a Comment

If you will remember back, I am on the quest for the perfect veggie burger (or a few perfect veggie burgers of various descriptions).

My veggie burger requirements include some of the following:

1. Must hold up well to various cooking methods (including bbq)

2. Can NOT be mushy.

3. Can not be made purely of cooked beans (See rule 2).

4. Must have some textural elements.

5. Must have flavour of its own.

This veggie burger is made with a base of oats of various types (porride and jumbo). But, I think next time I would substitute the jumbo oats for an equal measure of cooked brown rice for even more texture. Having said that, they were delicious. The fresh herbs the spices in the burger really elevated the taste. They held together really well and are even able to be grilled fairly easily.

I’m not sure it’s the perfect burger as it stands, but it is definitely worth giving it a try at your next cookout. Serve with potato salads!

  4. Mix flax and water in a small bowl and set aside for at least 10 mins while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir very well.
