This is really quite good. I fooled my entire family. They swore it was meat. I browned them really well. I'm not a vegetarian, but continue to make it. I use walnuts, rice, miso, and soy sauce as the combination among the choices. I have also put in teriyaki and it was great. Sorry about the nutrition information not working with all of the choices! Enjoy :)
Ingredients:
1 medium onion
1 cup raw walnuts or 1 cup raw pecans or 1 cup raw almonds or 1 cup raw cashews or 1 cup raw other nuts
1 cup cooked short-grain white rice or 1 cup cooked short-grain brown rice or 1 cup raw rolled oats
2 tablespoons miso or 2 tablespoons ketchup or 2 tablespoons tomato paste or 2 tablespoons nut butter or 2 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 egg
2 tablespoons neutral oil (for frying)
soy sauce or stock or wine or water, whatever
Directions:
1. Grind onion in food processor.
2. Add nuts and oats, pulse to chop.
3. Add everything but the oil and process more, but not too finely.
4. Add liquid as needed. Mixture should be moist but not loose.
5. Let mixture rest a few minutes then shape into 4 burgers. (This can be refrigerated for up to a day, but be sure to bring it up to room temperature before cooking or they'll fall apart when you cook them.)
6. Put oil in a nonstick skillet and turn fire to medium.
7. When hot, add burgers.
8. Cook 5 mins each side or until browned. Do not poke at them or they will fall apart.
9. Lower heat a bit and cook another 3-4 mins so that they firm up.
10. Serve on buns as you like. Chutney is suggested. I'm a blue cheese lover myself. Voila!
