It is about time I made veggie burgers...

Vegan.

...so I did yesterday. How convenient! This recipe is about as easy as it can get, too, which is always a huge plus.

About 2 cups of garbanzo beans
Garlic
Carrots
1 cup oatmeal (NOT the instant kind)
1 onion
taco seasoning
soy sauce
fresh jalapenos
all-seasoning

Cook the garbanzo beans (I finally made dried ones, which require 8 hrs. soaking and 2 hrs. cooking, so that takes the longest). In the meantime, heat your oven up to 400 degrees. Dump everything into a blender. Oil up your little pan well, form the mixture into burger-shaped balls, put them in the pan and into the oven. Flip them after 12 minutes, then let them cook another 12, and they should be done!

I also made up a nice fresh basil pesto and tomato sauce to accompany mine. For the pesto:

a bunch of fresh basil
some nuts (I used pecans)
some oil
some garlic

The tomato sauce was pretty much the same thing without the nuts. Both of those just need to be blended for a few seconds until it...you know...looks like pesto/sauce.



This meal packed some serious flavor punch, I'm sure you'll love it! Also try the same recipe with different beans, ie, black beans.
