veggie burger


Posted by Picasa
by now you know i am a huge burger fan.  absolutely love them. one of my clients had a guest over for dinner that is a vegetarian and asked me to pick up a box of frozen veggie burgers.  when i went to purchase these veggie burgers, i couldn't believe all the crap that was in them.  stuff i couldn't even pronounce.  what gives?  it just didn't sit well with me.  so, back home i went in search of a homemade veggie burger.  the one i found was on food network.  it was guy fieri's recipe.  and it was good.  very good.  his instructions and recipe list was a bit confusing and seemed inaccurate, so i used it as a guide and made mine up as i went along.  i also made a larger batch.  his recipe calls for using 3 different types of beans and only 4 oz of each.  i didn't want to waste the rest so i made a few burgers and froze the rest.  you can see in the photo all the beans i used, black, garbanzo, and cannellini.  add in a few other vegetables, oats, and spices, and you have a great twist on a burger. 

fresh salsa topping

this is such a delicious and fresh salsa that goes great with fish and poultry.  it's funny because i have a client that requests this often after a weekend and especially a holiday weekend.  it's so easy to make, incredibly versatile, and so very tasty.  this version is diced tomatoes, diced baby cucumbers, a few kalamata olives, and fresh mint.  oregano is fantastic with this as well.  eat this with your favorite piece of fish or a chicken breast that has been marinated in olive oil and lemon juice.   sorry to say, but, that is it for this tuesday post.  bear with me as i recuperate from a very long weekend with some of my oldest girlfriends...i will be back tomorrow with  some exciting new recipes and a few highlights from my trip.
