Title: Summer Burgers
Post by: mcmich on January 17, 2014, 04:49:54 am
SUMMER BURGERS

Ingredients

220gms onions
100gms carrot
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oil
1 tsp dried oregano
230gms mushrooms
40gms tamari or soy sauce
1/2 cup besan flour (sorry forgot to weigh it)
1 tsp salt
1 tlbsp nutritional yeast flakes
oil for frying

Method

* Add onions, carrot and garlic to  *: chop sp 7 for 10 seconds
* Add mushrooms and chop sp 7 for a further 10 seconds or until all vegies are finely diced
* Add oil if using and fry off vegies for 5 mins on varoma temp - allow to cool for 5 mins
* Add the other ingredients to the onion mixture and combine  :-: sp 4 for about 30 seconds
* Shape into burger patties and fry for 5 mins each side or until firm and golden brown.

Recipe from The Revive Café Cookbook 3

* I didn't add oil to the vegies, just sweat down and drained the water off them.
* I needed to add an extra 1/4 cup of besan flour as the mixture was a bit moist - possibly due to sweating off vegies in TMX.
* I used soy sauce.
* As I had no nutritional yeast flakes I substituted it for 2 tlbsp of umami paste as apparently it has a similar flavour.

The mixture made 2 over sized burger patties and 5 regular sized. The recipe states it makes 5.

Hally: Looks good  what is besan flour?

Katiej: I'm pretty sure besan flour is chickpea flour.
Where do you buy the nutritional yeast flakes? Can you just leave them out?

Michele: Besan flour is just chickpeas (dried) buy them in any supermarket and grind in the TMX (it is very noisy - worse than ice).
Nutritional yeast flakes you can buy from health food stores - I used umami paste as a substitute. I'm sure concentrated vegie stock would fit the bill too and reduce the added salt.  

GF:Thanks, Mich! Made these tonight but as it was only for me I tried "quartering" the recipe. A bit of "guesstimation"... !!! Didn't have yeast flakes so I used veg stock concentrate ... Just lovely! Next time I'll add a little more of the flour.
Have you tried freezing these, Mich?

Michele: No GF, I haven't tried freezing - but I will this week as I want to serve these for the vego's at our BBQ on Sunday. I can't see why they wouldn't freeze well? I'm going to use a little less soy sauce in the next batch and I bought some nutritional yeast flakes from the health food store today to try out.

Cookie: We had these last night. The flavour was lovely, although I would use a tiny bet less soy next time too. My mixture was quite sloppy and I think I should have added the extra flour too.

Michele: How many patties did you get out of the mixture?

Cookie:I think about 6. I had a couple left so I am going to spread them thickly over a teeny beef roast I have and cover it in pastry for tonight's dinner.

Hally: Just made the mixture, used 1/2 cup flour & then added more. Leaving to roll later.
Made 3 good size burgers. I then  Rolled balls in panko breadrcrumbs & tossed in pan. Delicious
Yes they worked well. Then the burgers I melted mozarella over them

DM: Made this in the middle of winter for picnic.  Subs nutritional yeast with pecorino cheese, add some Ozemite for flavor and need extra about a cup of panko breadcrumb, first batch without breadcrumb is too sloppy.

They look really nice.  I love the Revive recipe books  - the recipes are always reliable and straightforward.  Must put this on my to do list!

Looks delicious Mich.
My DH loves veggie burgers, so I'll have to make these.

Thanks girls, they got a big thumbs up from DH, he said they were very meaty in texture. Very economical too.

These do look good but as Hally said, what is the flour?

Great thanks Mich. I showed your picture to my DH and he said the burger looks great.
Grinding chickpeas is the loudest thing you can do in Thermie I think.

Chick pea grinding sure does have a high decibel count. I'm glad you mentioned a substitution for the yeast Mich as I didn't know where to get it. DD has requested a mushroom burger so this would certainly be different.

I have nutritional flakes in the freezer. I also have veggie burgers. Perhaps I should use these first. Although these sound Delish! So I will be back.

Looks yummy Cookie. Nothing like homemade burgers. How many patties did you get out of the mixture?

It did Mich. it was a mini beef Wellington and tasted delicious. We had one burger left after I had prepared this and piggy me ate it. I loved it cold.

I'm just making these now. Did anyone else have pureed veggies instead of finely diced veggies for even half of the amount of specified time? I'm not sure if I have stuffed up some how  ???

I haven't made these NEF but hopefully someone who has will be able to answer your question.I tend to use speed 5 for 2-3 seconds when processing vegetables in the TM.

Made this in the middle of winter for picnic.  Subs nutritional yeast with pecorino cheese, add some Ozemite for flavor and need extra about a cup of panko breadcrumb, first batch without breadcrumb is too sloppy.
