Answer 1

Here's a recipe for walnut burgers that I saw on sandra Lee's show. I haven't made them yet, but it looked pretty good.

Walnut Burgers

1 cup chopped walnuts

3/4 cup canned garbanzo beans, drained

1/3 cup plain dried bread crumbs

1 tablespoon grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 tablespoons olive oil

1 large egg

4 hamburger buns

Lettuce, tomato, avocado

Honey mustard

Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.

In a food processor, combine walnuts, garbanzo beans, bread crumbs, grill seasoning, paprika, pepper flakes, oil and vinegar and pulse until coarsely ground.

In a small bowl whisk egg, add to food processor and pulse for 10 seconds, just enough to incorporate egg. Divide into 4 equal-size parts; roll into balls, and flatten with the palm of your hand into 3/4-inch-thick patties.

Place burgers on oiled grill. Cook 4 minutes per side.

Answer 2

A veg*an burger can be made with tofu, seiten, soybeans, tempeh, TVP, beans (mostly black beans and chickapeas), vegetables, nuts, okara, or portobello mushrooms.

Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 large can black beans

    1/4 cup diced yellow onion

    1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

    1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

    1 egg substitute

    1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

    2 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro

    2 tablespoon olive oil

    top w/ salsa, alfalfa sprouts, &/or guacamole

Directions:

Rinse black beans. In a large bowl, mash black beans then add onion, bell pepper, cayenne pepper, egg substitute, vegan bread crumbs and cilantro.  Blend until all ingredients are mixed well.  Form bean mixture into patties and place on a baking pan or cookie sheet (spray pan with non-stick spray).  Bake at 350 for 10 mins.  Or you can fry them in olive oil.  I recommend baking them.

Serves: 6, Preparation time: 30
