Burgers and Fries!

Doesn't this look like a real burger? Well it isn't!

I made these veggie burgers and sweet potato fries for dinner tonight with a little Annie's ketchup and the kids were psyched! The are very healthy and ETL friendly.

I have been trying to create a burger that the kids won't pick at and one that wouldn't fall apart. Plus, I really wanted one that wasn't full of grain flours, rice, or other starches. So this is what I came up with:

Veggie Burgers (serves 6)

1 can black beans

1 can red beans

4 cloves of garlic
2 onions
5 carrots
4 stalks of celery
2 cups garbonzo bean flour

1/2 cup walnuts
1 large handful of fresh parsley
1 large handful of fresh basil

2 T Nutritional Yeast

Dry saute onion, carrots, garlic and celery. Saute until soft.

In food processor, process walnuts until powdery then add garbonzo flour. Add remaining ingredients and process well (if you don't want any signs of vegetables) or pulse (if you want big chunks). I used silicon cupcake holders (12) to get them formed (consistancy was cake batter). Put them in 350 oven until brown on top then remove from oven. I popped them out onto a cookie sheet, squashed them a bit, and formed a little on the sides to create patty. Bake again (350) until they are crispy but not burnt.
