Vegetarian Curried Vegetable Burgers

Curried Vegetable Burgers (Vegetarian) Recipe

Here we are again, yet another burger recipe. I told you I had lots of these, I can’t throw them out. So they will all be posted eventually. This one is slightly different from the others as it has a curry flavour to it. Great for Vegetarians but not so good for those with a nut allergy…sorry! I am sure that the peanut butter could be substituted with something else. I will leave that to your imagination though. These can be fiddly to prepare but great tasting. As I have said before on other posts these are great for entertaining. They give guests some choice besides store bought alternatives.

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 zucchinis, grated
1 large carrot, grated
100g (about 4 slices) wholemeal bread, crusts removed
400g canned chickpeas, rinsed, drained
3 teaspoons mild curry paste
3 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves, plus extra leaves to serve

6 bread rolls
Mayonnaise, chutney, lettuce and tomato, to serve

Method

Heat half the oil in a large frypan over medium to 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 or the burger will be soggy.

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, don’t over do it.

Form the mixture into 6 patties and chill for 10 minutes to firm up. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan 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.
