Nut Burgers (Vegetarian)

Recipe By: jade_  
These no nonsense nut burgers are great. I have yet to find a recipe or a restaurant that makes as good of a version. Serve with chips... tortilla, blue corn, sweet potato, or other veggie chips.

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
    •
  • 1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
    •
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
    •
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
    •
  • 1 beaten egg
    •
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    •
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    •
  • 1 tablespoon salt-free herb seasoning blend
    •
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    •
  • 2 slices mild Cheddar cheese
    •
  • 1 pita bread round
    •
  • 1/4 cup prepared Ranch salad dressing
    •
  • 2 leaves romaine lettuce
    •
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
    •
  • 1/2 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced

  1. Place walnuts and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash garbanzo beans with a fork, or chop in a food processor. Stir in the onion, egg, parsley, and toasted nuts. Season with pepper and seasoning blend, and mix well.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Divide the bean mixture into 2 patties, and fry in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until well browned and heated through. Place a slice of cheese over each patty, and remove from heat.
  4. Place the pita round in the same dry skillet the nuts were in, and heat for about 1 minute on each side. Cut the round in half, spread ranch dressing inside of each, and line the pockets with romaine leaves. Place a cheesy patty into each one, and top with sliced tomato and avocado. Serve with tortilla or potato chips.

I spent a rainy Saturday making five different kinds of veggie burgers from the site. I wanted to load up the freezer because summer is a busy time for us and these would make for easy suppers. I have to say this has been our least favorite burger so far. It is just so dry. I added Moroccan seasoning and served them in pita with cucumber sauce. Even with the sauce they were just overwhelming dry. I think it's the nuts. None of the other recipes used nuts. I love nuts, but apparently not in my veggie burger. It seemed to get worse the more you ate it. Our stars lowered throughout the meal. I couldn't bring myself to finish one. It was better with feta and olives but that's only because they were making the lack of good flavor. I'll not be making these again.

Kinda fall apart-y but still tasty.

Hubs thought these were OK, I thought these were the closest thing to a hamburger that I've had yet. Mine fell apart, so I might try the wheat gluten if I make them again per another user's suggestion. Mine also made 4 large patties, not two. Overall, not a bad veggie burger.
