Walnut Veggie Burgers (Gluten-Free)

March 23, 2017 by Samuel Warde

Most of the veggie burger recipes we’ve shared in the past have contained gluten, so I wanted to do something gluten-free for those of you that can’t eat seitan. However, that being said, these walnut veggie burgers are just plain good, period; whether you eat gluten or not. In fact, they’re not just good, they’re outstanding.

This was my first time using nuts as one of my main ingredients for a veggie burger, and I was really surprised how much the patties came out looking just like a real hamburger. They also tasted somewhat like a real hamburger, which was another surprise to me because I wasn’t trying to emulate beef. I’m just considering it a happy accident.

The burgers have an earthy flavor. No doubt thanks to the walnuts, which also served as a nice binder. The texture came out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sort of like falafel. I could see this burger going well with a wide variety of toppings and condiments, but since I had just made olive and mushroom tapenade, and smoked paprika aioli, that’s what I decided to put on them, and man, were they good.

My only regret is that I didn’t make a larger batch, because right now I’m craving another one of these but I finished them off days ago.

Red Walnut Burgers

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook/Cool Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 6 to 8 patties

Red Walnut Burgers

Walnuts, roasted flax seeds, dark red kidney beans, tofu, herbs, and spices come together to form a delicious, gluten-free veggie burger. Topped with olive and mushroom tapenade, smoked paprika aioli, grilled peppers and onions, and fresh greens.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans dark red kidney beans, drained
  • 1/2 block firm tofu
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup roasted flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp corn meal
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add walnuts and flax seeds to a food processor and process on high until a thick paste forms.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until coarsely mixed.
  3. Place mixture in the freezer for 1 hr (optional).
  4. Form into patties the size of your hand.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a nonstick frying panning. Fry the burgers over medium heat for 5 - 7 min on each side. Alternatively, you can bake them at 350º F for 15 min on each side.

Notes

You can fry or bake these veggie burgers. Baking them will produce a dryer, crispier texture. You can also cook them on a griddle or grill; however, I would suggest putting them on foil if you grill them because they might break when flipping.
