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.
