I had a garden burger at a restaurant a few weeks ago, my first ever. It tasted like...a fried hash brown patty. I think it was a fried hash brown patty on a bun with burger fixin's! I figure there's no need to pay the high price for veggie burger patties when I am sure I can make my own. I wanted a recipe that is mostly veggies, not so much starch, and one high in complete proteins.
The problem? My husband is a total meat and potatoes kind of guy. Or rather, burgers and fries kind of guy. I conjured up this recipe with things I had on hand and he.....ate two! So I guess that's a win! Kids liked it as well and wanted to take leftovers in their lunch.
Yield: 10 patties
3/4 cup black beans, mashed
1 small zucchini, grated
1 carrot, grated
1 small potato, grated
1 onion, minced
3 eggs
2/3 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 tbs fresh minced garlic
dash of worchestershire sauce
1 tbs grill seasoning (I used mesquite grill seasoning from Costco)
dash of chicken soup flavoring
black pepper
Combine all ingredients and let set for 10 minutes to allow the liquid to absorb into the oatmeal. Shape into patties (I used a wide mouth canning lid for a mold), and cook in lightly greased skillet until browned on both sides and cooked through. Serve on buns with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, the works!
