WHITEY'S OVEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients except buns, pickles, and cheese.
• Put mixture in an ungreased 10x13 pan and spread evenly edge to edge.
• Prick with a fork several times throughout.

• Cut immediately into square patties the size of the buns and add desired toppings.

GOLDEN HUMMUS BURGERS

Steps:

• Puree chickpeas, tahini, onion, oil, and all spices until a chunky paste results.
• Use a bit more lemon juice if neccessary.
• Stir in egg and oatmeal, mixture should be consistency of ground meat.
• Set aside for ~10 minutes, this helps the mixture firm.
• Form into 3-4 patties.
• Grill or broil until browned. (3-5 min per side).

ONE-BOWL VEGAN HUMMUS CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except olive oil to a medium bowl, starting with the lesser amount of hummus. Using a fork or potato masher, mix all ingredients together, mashing the chickpeas as you do so (but don't completely mash them - you want to leave a bit of texture). Add more hummus if needed to bind the burgers together. You want the mixture to hold together easily when squeezed, but you don't want it too wet. Because moisture levels in hummus can vary, I suggest starting with less hummus then adding a little more at a time until your mixture holds together when you squeeze it.
• Divide the burger mixture into fourths. Using your hands, form four patties about 4 inches in diameter. I like to press my burgers into this 4.5-inch circular cookie cutter for the perfect shape, but it's not necessary at all.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add the burgers, cooking in batches if your pan isn't big enough.
• Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 more minutes, until browned.
• Serve immediately - on a bun with accompaniments, over a salad, or on its own as a quick snack (um not that I've ever done that).

• saute vegetables and dip starter in olive oil until soft.
• rinse black beans and chop in food processor.
• Combine all ingredients well and form into 1/2 cup patties.
• lightly spray pan with cooking spray and cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes on each side.

CURRIED VEGETABLE BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes or until softened.
• Add the garlic, zucchini and carrot, then cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until wilted and softened. Drain off any liquid.
• Place bread and chickpeas in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.
• Add softened vegetables, curry paste, peanut butter, yolk and coriander. Process until mixture comes together.
• Form the mixture into 6 patties and chill for 10 minutes. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat and cook the burgers, in batches if necessary, for 1-2 minutes each side until golden.
• Serve in rolls with mayonnaise, chutney, lettuce, tomato and extra coriander leaves.
