Answer 1

Ingredients:

4 portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 cup of shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 onions, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of brown rice
2 cups of water
2 organic eggs
1 block of firm tofu
2 Tbs of extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbs of soy sauce
2 Tbs of miso paste
1 cup of breadcrumbs
Sea salt and pepper
Directions:

Saute mushrooms and garlic with olive oil over medium-high heat until mushrooms lose their moisture and onions begin to caramelize. Add minced garlic and stir while cooking for another minute or two.

Add brown rice, water, and soy sauce. Cover with a lid and cook until the brown rice has absorbed all of the water. Then, let mixture cool.

Transfer rice and mushroom mixture into a food processor. Add organic eggs, tofu, miso paste, breadcrumbs, sea salt, and pepper. Process until all ingredients are smooth.

Use your hands to form mixture into patties. Refrigerate patties until they become firm.

Cook patties over medium-high meat with olive oil until golden and cooked to desired consistency.

Enjoy this delicious, nutrient-dense veggie burger recipe! Try it with fresh tomato and red onion slices, leafy lettuce, and your favorite variety of mustard, with or without a whole grain bun.

Answer 3

I believe this is a credible source since most Mormons are great cooks. I hope it helps. This comes from "Essentials of Home Production and Storage" published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1978

2 cups (400 grams) soybean pulp
2 cups (400 grams) cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons (23 grams) vegetable fat
1 onion, chopped fine
1/2 tablespoon (8 milliliters) soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt
Flavor with garlic or sage
1/2 cup (70 grams) whole wheat bread crumbs (buttered)

Mix all ingredients (except bread crumbs) together. Shape into patties. Roll in whole wheat bread crumbs. Bake in greased pan at 350' F (177'C) until brown, or warm in frying pan. Serve with gravy, if desired.
To make soybean pulp: Soak beans in water for at least 3 hours. Boil beans in water for 15 minutes. Drain. Mix beans thoroughly by pounding or in a blender with enough water to puree into a stiff paste.

Answer 5

When I do it, I use kidney beans and breadcrumbs as my base and then add whatever veggies I have. Mash it up and then I use a whisked egg to hold it all together, so stir that in. Then I fry in a bit of olive oil. Maybe you could add some cheese as well? I haven't tried this but may work (and sounds nice to me - don't know why I haven't tried it!!).

Answer 6

1 tin soya beans - mash well
1 grated carrot
3 shallots finely sliced
1 lightly beaten egg
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
parsley or chives
1 garlic clove minced
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a bowl shape into patties and set in fridge for about an hour, then fry until golden in a little oil in a non-stick pan.
Serve on bread rolls with salad of your choice - lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, beetroot and cheese if allowed.

Answer 9

Your base would probably be soy, then add vegetables like shredded carrots, mushrooms, onions, seasonings etc etc. You will need a food processor. But there should be some good ideas at this website. Try foodtv.com or allrecipes.com

Answer 10

very vague, I suppose you can adjust to taste.
to mashed potatoes, add, grated carrot, onion garlic,shredded leek and a tin of mixed bean salad, (chick peas, kidney beans, etc.) Add salt, pepper and fresh herbs, like parsley coriander. I wouldn't put dill or tarragon.
Mix together, using an egg to hold it all. Pass through flour, followed by beaten egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
Bake or fry.

mmmm, very vague, don't complicate it. if you love mushrooms , add them in, if you hate garlic leave it out.
And good cooking is like good sex, take it easy and experiment!!
