Recipe of the Month - Walnut Burgers
These burgers are very quick to make once you have the ingredients assembled. It's a good idea to make up a batch and freeze them ready for when the sun comes out and you can whisk out the instant barbeque!
Vegan recipe
4oz / 110g onion, chopped
4oz / 110g carrot chopped
4oz / 110g celery
2tsp tomato puree
1tbls soy sauce
2tsp mixed herbs
8oz / 225g walnuts
8oz / 225g tofu
8oz / 225g cooked rice
2floz / 60ml vegetable stock
Salt and black pepper to taste
Put all the ingredients in a food processor or mixer and blend. You may have to do this in batches. Tip into a bowl and squash the mixture together.
Leave the mixture to rest for 5 minutes before forming into burgers with floured hands.
Cook on a hot barbeque, turning after about 5 minutes, or if you want them cooked before you travel, shallow fry them in hot oil.
