Brazil and Bulgar Wheat Burgers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 each onions
- 2 each celery stalks
- 2 each garlic cloves
- 125 grams cracked wheat (bulgur)
- 250 grams brazil nuts
- 300 ml vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree (passata)
- 2 tablespoons parsley leaves chopped
- 2 teaspoons mixed herbs dried
- 1 each eggs beaten
- In a food processor chop finely the onion, garlic and celery.
- Seperatly chop nuts and set aside.
- Heat oil and add the onion, garlic and celery - saute until soft.
- Add the nuts and Bulgar wheat and saute for a couple of minutes until golden brown.
- Add the stock and simmer until the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in tomato puree, parsley, herbs and the egg.
- Season with salt and pepper and leave until cool enough to handle.
- Shape into 'burgers' and either cook in oven at 400F (200C) F for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through or cook in frying pan.
- Place in burger buns with your favorite garnishes - I like cooked onion rings, lettuce, cheese and fresh tomato.
- If you have problems with the burgers falling apart when cooking try adding some grated cheese before shaping - this helps.
- An alternate serving suggestion is like a falafal.
- Take tablespoon sized amounts of mixture and fry in some oil until gold to dark brown.
- Put inside lightly warmed Pita bread with some salad and Chilli sauce.
- You can substitute your favorite nuts for the Brazils.
