Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 My brother gave me this recipe a few years ago. Had it for dinner this evening. Used Raspberry Chipolte sauce for half the liquid Burger-Mix Recipe 1/2 c dry chickpeas 1/2 c dry soybeans 1/2 c dry lentils 1/2 c yellow split peas 1/2 c brown rice 1/2 c rolled oats 1/4 c whole wheat bread crumbs 1/4 c cornmeal 1 1/2 T baking soda seasonings of your choice Put ingredients 1 - 2 at a time in a blender, turn the blender on, and RUN FOR COVER (this is pretty noisy). When everything is in powdered form, combine in a tupperware container and store in the fridge. Makes 4 cups of mix. To make burgers: combine 1 c burger mix and 2/3 c HOT liquid and let sit for 15 minutes. On a plate, form into 3 thin patties. Use a spatula to move patties onto a nonstick-sprayed skillet and cook on both sides until lightly browned. Server with your favorite burger fixings. Seasonings: you can use the herbs and/or spices of your choice, or consider using a dry soup mix run through the blender. (onion is good) Also, try a dry FF salad dressing mix. or a veggie boullion cube run through the blender. Other suggestions: onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper, basil, etc. Liquids: Try 1/3 c water and 1/3 c barbeque sauce - combine in bowl and nuke until hot, add to dry mix (burgers made with barbeque sauce tend to burn faster). Or try half water, half tomato juice, or half water and half white wine or marsala. Try to make sure that your liquids and seasonings have compatible flavors.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi Barb, All these ingredients are great! But I believe you're better using a grain mill to make powder (aka " bean " flour) rather than a blender. You can mix all kinds of beans and whole grains (wheat or rye berries, brown rice & oats, etc.), shake 'em up in a can and feed them through the mill. Otherwise it could be rather tough on the blender to make this regularly. I know that it's good though, 'cuz I make burgers like this, too. , " Barb " <tigger_twins wrote: > > Burger-Mix Recipe > > 1/2 c dry chickpeas > 1/2 c dry soybeans > 1/2 c dry lentils > 1/2 c yellow split peas > 1/2 c brown rice > 1/2 c rolled oats > 1/4 c whole wheat bread crumbs > 1/4 c cornmeal > 1 1/2 T baking soda > seasonings of your choice > > Put ingredients 1 - 2 at a time in a blender, turn the blender on, > and RUN FOR COVER (this is pretty noisy).

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi, What is a grain mill. I use my food processor, my mom uses her blender. Mine comes out a powder and hers came out more course. Either way they turned out great. And if I dont' have one type of bean or grain, I just substitute for a different type.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 A Vita Mix would work great for this. What kind of food processor do you have Barb? My food processor wouldn't be able to do the chick peas, so was wondering. - Barb Wednesday, January 23, 2008 5:28 PM Re: Re: Burger Mix Recipe Hi, What is a grain mill.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 my food processor is a GE, but I have noticed that the plastic around the blade is cracking. My other one is a Back to Basics but that is my smoothie, blender, food processor, that I received for Christmas. Barb wwjd <jtwigg wrote: A Vita Mix would work great for this.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Barb, Grain mills are these things: <<http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40 & _trksid=m37 & satitle=grain+mi\ ll & category0=>> <<http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/index.aspx#Nutrimill>> They are usually used for making flour for homemade whole grain bread from wheat or rye berries or corn & whole oats, etc. I guess they can be pretty expensive, say from $50 to $250. But a good one should last a lifetime or at least a long time. By shopping carefully on Ebay I bought a couple for $30 and $60 (family grain mill, magic mill II) that let me make whole wheat and rye flour for bread and pea + bean + grain flour for veggie gravy, soups, sauces & burgers. The vitamix can do alot of this too and I know there is a Vitamix group that specifically discusses the machine and recipes. You're right most any legume can be substituted for another in typical bean recipes. Also fancier more expensive grain mills may have trouble feeding larger beans through themselves.
