This evening we had curried walnut grain burgers on homemade wholewheat rolls. I told you I would post next time we had veggie burgers. Now would I lie to you? I even took a photo, see?


I know it is not a good photo, but it was a good, good, good dinner. I don't think it would be very nice of me to post about it without sharing the recipe, so I will do that now. :-)

Curried Walnut Grain Burgers

Serves 6

2 eggs
1/3 cup plain yogurt (or substitute 1/4 cup of water, it will come out fine)
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 1/3 cups cooked couscous or brown rice
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup minced green onions
1/3 cup bread crumbs

Combine eggs, yogurt, worcestershire sauce, curry, salt and red pepper in a large bowl; beat until blended. Stir in couscous or rice, walnuts, carrot, green onions and bread crumbs. Shape into 6 patties on a baking-paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, turning once. Serve on hamburger buns, with condiments.

These do not taste like meat, nor are they supposed to. They taste better than meat. My personal kiddos eat these much better than they do a cheeseburger.

For those who are interested, I calculated the WeightWatchers points for one patty and came up with 2 1/2 points.
