Veggie Burgers For A #FreeFromBBQ

Simple recipe for veggie burgers free from gluten, dairy and soya.

Have I told you before that I was veggie for around 15 years and that I love veggie burgers?

Well, I was, and I have to admit that I still prefer veggie food to meat. It just generally doesn’t agree with me (all those beans and lentils has a bad affect on my tummy).

I was flicking aimlessly through my recipe development notebook the other day and nearly shouted out loud with joy.

This month my blogging pals and I are developing free from BBQ recipes and I have to say I was at a bit of a loss…

BBQ’s are really not my thing. They sit alongside picnics on the ‘a bit too much hassle’ front.

I know! Shoot me down now.

Make your own veggie burgers for the barbecue this year. A simple recipe that uses store cupboard ingredients...

If I lived in Australia I might be more inclined to crank out the barbecue every night because it would be too hot to cook inside. But lets face it. We live in England and it’s never too hot to cook inside, and it’s far less hassle.

With a turn of a switch I have instant heat, no planning required! Now that’s my kinda cooking.

I digress.

I’ve no idea when I created this recipe. Like many in ‘the book’ they never make the light of day. I forget about them (or forget to take photos) and then have grand ideas about something else (you might have noticed that!).

I’m so glad this one did make the light of day though because it’s a cracker.

It’s so easy to make, has very few ingredients (that you’re bound to have in the cupboard) and is rather a life saver if you’re stuck for tea.

My cockapoo looking cute

This little beast looks so innocent but this was minutes after she’d tried to eat the burger while I photographed it!

I’ll admit to not wheeling the BBQ out for them (sorry)…but I’m certain they would cook fine there provided you place them on a piece of tin foil on a less than scorching area.

Oh and that’s my other beef with barbecues. They burn the food because they’re too hot. And if they’re not too hot you give yourself food poisoning.

Make your own veggie burgers in under 30 minutes from store cupboard ingredients

So, if I haven’t entirely put you off your barbecue then here’s the recipe!

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g mixed nuts - I used salted but you could use unsalted and add a little salt
  • 200 g tinned butter beans - chickpeas or whatever else you have in the cupboard
  • 1/2 onion - finely chopped
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • 3 tsp tomato puree
  • 25 g gluten-free oats
  • 1 medium free range egg
  • A little oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Put a frying pan on a medium heat
  • Place the nuts into a handheld chopper or food processor and blitz until broken up a little
  • Add all the other ingredients and blitz until it comes together
  • (Refrigerate the mix for around 30 minutes to make it easier to handle) - optional
  • Add a little oil (I use coconut because it's better for cooking at high temperatures than other vegetable oils) to your frying pan and turn the heat down to low
  • Gently remove 1/4 of the mix and pop it into the frying pan. Take care while you shape it into a rough burger shape
  • Repeat with the remaining mixture
  • Cook for around 5-10 minutes on each side until firm
  • Alternatively, shape the burgers on a piece of tin foil and cook on a cool spot of the barbecue.

    I doubled this recipe and dang they’re good! I caramelized the onion first before blending and left them a bit more chunky for some nice texture. Doubling the mixture made 11 decent sized patties. Next time I might add some more spices for a deeper flavour but overall, a big thumbs up ??

      Hi Georgia, I’m so pleased you liked the recipe. Caramelising the onions sounds like a wonderful idea for extra flavour. Have a fab day and thanks for leaving a message. Vicki

    Meat burgers are overrated! These look much nicer. What nuts did you use in yours??

      It was a bag of Tesco mixed with is brazil, pecan, hazelnut, almond and cashew. Very yummy!

    Sounds delicious! Funnily enough I was a veggie for years too – 10 as a full veggie and then a further 11 as a veggie and fish person! I never did find a veggie burger I really liked though – I always stuck to Quorn sausages at BBQs – maybe your burger could change my mind on veggie burgers – it does sound nice 🙂

    This looks like a great recipe to avoid a ‘meat coma’!! Love the idea of nuts in a burger, I’ve not experimented much with veggie burgers so looking forward to testing this out! x

    • Vicki Montague says

      19th June 2017 at 1:20 pm

      I hope you like them Sarah. They are so simple to whip up!

    I’ve been on the lookout for a great veggie burger recipe so I’m definitely going to give these a try Vicki.

    I can’t believe you don’t like picnics, they’re our favourite way to spend a sunny day in the sunshine. We definitely go for the lowest effort approach possible though.

    • Vicki Montague says

      19th June 2017 at 1:20 pm

      Ha ha! I’d love picnics if someone else prepared them or we could buy all the bits and bobs. I just hate preparing them!!

    This looks stunning Vicki, love the image of your pup too, gorgeous! I have to admit I can take meat of leave it, love my fish though. And besides, who can resist a burger that’s that colourful – awesome xxx

    • Vicki Montague says

      16th June 2017 at 1:19 pm

      Ah thanks! I think that’s why I don’t really like BBQ’s. They are normally a bit of a ‘meat fest’ aren’t they?!
