Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 My daughter and I are vegetarian and gluten/wheat/corn/soy free/egg free-we make veggie burgers all the time in the Vitamix. We grow our own beans, so we usually use fresh, but you could adapt using canned I am sure. Just rinse and drain your choice of cooked beans (we like a blend of black, chick pea and great northern) Place about 2 cups in the VM (reserve an extra half cup or so out if you want it chunkier) with egg substitute or one egg (we use flax, chia, or tapioca gel as egg sub) and whatever seasoning you want (herbs, sea salt, scallions, etc) and a tablespoon or two of your safe flour or cooked brown rice (we use a flour blend of GF organic oats/buckwheat/red quinoa/brown rice flour, all of which we grind in the VM) Buzz it on low speed until just blended, then add in the reserved beans for texture, if desired. With fresh beans, no liquid is needed, so you may need to tweak and add a little of the bean liquid or broth, but we don't add any. I get it out of the container by rapping the container upside down onto a flexible cutting board, then forming my patties and sauteeing them in homemade butter. These are great with chopped up portabello mushrooms added too, or any other veggies-we sometimes throw in eggplant, carrot, celery, green peppers, etc-chop the veggies before adding the beans to form the cakes. > > I'm still using the recipes you gave me to get my vitamix out of the cupboard! I made the pumpkin shake yesterday and we LOVED it, thank you so much! But I just got to wondering if I couldn't use the vitamix to make a veggie burger! Does anyone have a recipe? It would have to be without gluten, but I could probably adapt if necessary. THANKS!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
