Veggie Burgers

This is my very favourite veggie burger recipe. It has actually fooled the kids and now they know its a veggie burger and like it tonnes! I make them and freeze some because it is a big batch. To cut back on calories you could eat this in-between butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce bun size leaves.

1 Tbsp veggie oil

1 onion

1 clove garlic

1 Tbsp cumin

1  1/2 Tbsp chili powder

1 19 oz can black beans drained, rinsed and thoroughly pureed in food processor

1 tsp oregano

1/4 parsley or cilantro chopped

2 Tbsp sesame oil

1/2 cup almonds roasted and chopped

1 cup sunflower seeds roasted and chopped

3 cups fine bread crumbs

1/2 cup soya sauce

5 eggs

2 cups carrots shredded

2 cups oats

flour for dredging

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

In a large pan saute onions and garlic in oil. Place in large mixing bowl and cool a bit. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well and shape into patties. Dredge in flour. Heat second amount of oil and brown burgers on both sides. Might need to do in batches with a little more oil. Enjoy with bun or lettuce bun, topped with tzatziki sauce and sprouts and whatever else you choose.
