Sunflower-oat patties -- vegan burgers for the trail

Aug 03, 2009 00:04

My husband and I recently went backpacking in the Appalacian mountains. Before we left, I made a dry veggie burger mix and put it in a Ziploc bag. Once we were ready to eat, all I did was dump some water into the bag, mix it up, form it into patties, and cook it over the fire. They were delicious enough that I might make a bag of the mix and keep it around for a quickie meal.

SUNFLOWER-OAT VEGAN VEGGIE BURGERS (perfect for camping!)

Ingredients:
-1 cup old-fashioned oats
-1/2 cup raw unsalted sunflower seeds
-Enough dried mushrooms to make about 2 Tbs ground -- I used porcinis, but you could probably use shittakes if you want something a bit less pricey
-1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
-1/2 Tbs cumin
-2 Tbs nutritional yeast (I used large-flake since it's all I had around)
-2 Tbs dried parsley
-2 Tbs toasted sesame seeds
-1 tsp onion powder or 1 Tbs dehydrated onion flakes (I actually used 1 Tbs dehydrated thin-sliced shallots since I recently bought them for a Vietnamese recipe, but they're probably difficult to find outside of an Asian market)
-1/8 tsp garlic powder or 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
-1/4 tsp salt

In a food processor, grind the dried mushrooms to a powder. Add the oats and sunflower seeds and pulse until it is a coarse meal. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until combined. When ready to eat, add 2/3 cup water and mix until combined. Form into patties. Either pan-fry in a pot over a campfire, or cook in a Dutch oven, or bake at 350 for about 10 minutes on each side. Serve with vegan mayonnaise or grainy mustard.
