Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Shredded carrot
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 0 as desired Condiments (mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, add the raw walnuts and almonds. Pulse until coarsely ground but not too fine. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

To the food processor, add the cooked chickpeas, shredded carrot, and chopped onion. Pulse until combined and broken down. Add this mixture to the bowl with the ground nuts.

Step 3

Stir in the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Add the egg (or flax egg for a vegan option) to the mixture and stir until it binds together. The consistency should be firm enough to form patties. If it's too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a small splash of water.

Step 5

Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties, about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf, a cooked nut patty, a tomato slice, and your favorite condiments on each bun.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade vegetarian nut burgers!
