Which NY Times veggie burger recipe do you use? Does it hold together pretty well? I'm always in search of another good recipe.
Thanks!
Hi, sorry to take so long to reply. I use the recipe that's in the Engine 2 Diet cookbook. I remember the recipe, so here are the ingredients.
1 can black beans drained (I buy the ones with spices in them)
1 can tomatoes drained (I use the ones with mild chiles - this recipe is bland to me without seasonings)
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal (this is the binder)
1 cup shredded carrots (I dice up 1 large carrot in a food processor and it's enough)
3 diced scallions or green onions (I don't use the entire green stalk portion)
1 cup diced parsley
1 clove garlic (or more if you like it!)
salt & pepper or whatever seasonings you like; right now I am loving a curry powder with turmeric paprika and fenugreek (trader joe's I think)
optional:
1/4 cup diced mushrooms
maybe dice up some orange or red pepper (green too but I don't like green pepper)
I shredded maybe 1/4 cup kale too
Mix it all together. Form patties. Bake at 450 oven for 8 minutes; then broil for no more than 2 minutes; the broiling step dries out the somewhat 'wet' patty. I usually freeze 2 or 3.
Makes 6-8 for me
This also makes great crumbles to add to soups, pastas, rice, etc.
