Ingredients

1 ½ cups (220 g) nuts

2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup (100 g) breadcrumbs
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp dried herbs
1 cup (240 ml) vegetable stock
1 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

In a frying pan, saute the diced onion in olive oil until soft, translucent and just starting to brown.
Pulse the nuts in a food processor until fine, and just sliightly grainy.
Make the vegetable broth with boiling water and stock powder/bouillon.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground nuts, sauteed onion, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, herbs, chia seeds and vegetable broth.
Set the mixture aside for five minutes to allow it to cool a little and the chia seeds to soak.
Shape the mixture into round patties. If the mixture is a little too sticky, add some more breadcrumbs.
In a frying pan, heat up a little oil on medium high heat, and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until crisp and brown.

Notes

Which type of nuts?

You can use a variety of nuts to make the nut burgers. We often use a mix walnuts, cashews and peanuts, but other kinds would work just as well.

Can I cook these in the oven?

We haven't had the best results trying to cook the burgers in the oven. Cooking the burgers in a frying pan works best, and is also easy and quicker.

If you want to try cook these in the oven, place them on greaseproof paper, brush them with some oil. Grill them until brown on the top and carefully turn over, and continue to grill the other side.
