The picture doesn't do the burger justice - it was out of batteries, and I got in just one shot before the camera cakked out on me. So I have a picture of a tomato with a blurry burger in the foreground.
So it's time to go grocery shopping, very badly, the fridge is almost empty, but surely there's lots to eat in the house! So I took the following ingredients (without measuring! I'm very sorry! I just put things together and see what happens.. but food's food, so you really can't go wrong eating something that doesn't "work out"!)
First I ground up into a coarse flour:
-buckwheat groats (I'd say 1/2 cup?)
-lentils - about 1/4 cup
-lentils - about 1/4 cup
.. and added some salt, spelt flour (1/4 cup), thyme, black pepper
Then I diced up and then pureed in my grinder:
-remains of an eggplant
-zucchini
-carrot
-onion
Add the two together, wet your hands, and plop balls of this batter onto a buttery cookie sheet. I baked them at 350F for about 35 minutes, and they turned out delish!
We ate them with an Ezekiel brand hamburger bun, slice of tomato, slices of naturally fermented picks, and Grandma's homemade mustard!.. and Anna got to take some with her to lunch the next day! I bet these burgers cost a whopping $.50 cents to make, which is astonishing considering you pay almost $7 for good real-food (and whole food!) veg burgers in the health food store. I smell as business plan... and another batch of veg. burgers in my oven.
Sounds pretty yummy!When you start with quality whole food ingredients, you just can't go wrong.
