Are you sick of the over-processed veggie burger options? Well I am. All of those faux, over-processed meat alternatives don't agree with my system so I've been on the hunt for other healthier options.
I feel like the veggie convenience foods are relying too heavily on soy. Yeah, it looks like meat and kind-of tastes like meat but it's got tons of filler and things that aren't so good for you. And aren't I a vegetarian because I DON'T want to eat carnage?
Below is an awesome recipe I found on http://allrecipes.com
A couple of things. I added a little bit of bread crumbs when I made my patties because they were not holding together. Also, I put each patty onto a piece of olive oil sprayed tinfoil so when grilled, didn't fall apart or touch other meat products on the grill.
This recipe is an open invitation for any veggie combination. I used some steak seasoning in mine and they're so yummy!
Happy Memorial Day grilling everyone!
VEGGIE BURGERS
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, grated
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 carrots, shredded
1 small summer squash, shredded
1 small zucchini, shredded
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over low heat, and cook the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until tender. Mix in the carrots, squash, and zucchini. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and mix in oats, cheese, and egg. Stir in soy sauce, transfer the mixture to a bowl, and refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
3. Place the flour on a large plate. Form the vegetable mixture into eight 3 inch round patties. Drop each patty into the flour, lightly coating both sides.
4. Oil the grill grate, and grill patties 5 minutes on each side, or until heated through and nicely browned.
