Whenever I make a veggie burger, it usually contains oats. I love using whole grains that are minimally processed and oats fits this bill. Sometimes I use quick oats, other times old-fashioned rolled oats. It depends on how much chewiness I want my burger to have. Oatburgers are a very chewy burger that can be used in a variety of ways. I like them in a sandwich with some tomato and onion rings. Sometimes, I crumble it and add it to an oil-free tomato sauce. I have also used this recipe in tacos, pita bread or covered with a nutty gravy.
They are quick and easy to make, so they have become one of our favorite burgers. I hope it will become a favorite at your house too.
Oatburgers
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked oatmeal
- 1 medium raw potato
- 1 T vegetable broth
- ½ cup ground walnuts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 T rubbed sage
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp soy flour
- 1 tsp salt or salt substitute
Instructions
- Grind the nuts coarsely. Using a food processor or hand grater, shred the potato. Combine these with the remaining ingredients.
- Mix well until the mixture holds together without falling apart. If the mix seems a little dry, add some more water, a little at a time.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Form into burgers and fry on a non-stick skillet or griddle. Oatburgers are great with our ketchup—see the section on Dressings and Sauces.
