Walnut Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnut pieces
• 1 cups rolled oats
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
• 1/2 cup original soy milk
• 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• oil (for lightly frying)
• 2 cups vegetable broth (to cover patties)

Instructions

1. 1

   Grind walnuts in blender or food processor, then mix with the rest of the burger mixture ingredients: oats, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, sage, and salt/pepper. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors come together and thicken slightly.

2. 2

   Place a skillet over medium heat and add in just enough oil to make a thin layer. Form the patties, then lightly fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Once patties are brown, add the vegetable broth to cover the patties, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   I love these most with fresh tomato slices, lettuce, pickled and spicy mustard!
