Soy-Free Veggie Burger
Makes 4 burgers
What I love most about this burger is that it's TRULY a veggie burger, made with fresh veggies and no sign of soy. A nice change of pace from pre-packaged veggie burgers!
Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen, thawed
6 mushrooms, finely chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
Dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 small potato, peeled and grated
1 flax egg (Whiz 1/3 cup flax seeds in a blender until ground, slowly add 1 cup water, blend until of "eggy" quality -- 3 Tablespoons equals one flax egg**)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
Directions:
1. In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium high heat. Stir in corn, mushrooms, scallions, and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and cayenne and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in spinach. Add carrot and potato and stir to combine. Add flax egg and season with salt and pepper.
2. Stir in enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds together. Shape mixture into 4 disks and place on a plate.
3. Chill for 1 hour.
4. Lightly oil a non-stick skillet and cook veggie burgers until golden on each side.
Serves: 4
** Note: Rinse blender immediately after using or you'll be stuck with a very hard-to-clean mess. Refrigerate unused flax eggs and use within 4 days for best results.
