Ed'S Oatburgers
Oatburgers are hearty, flavorful vegetarian patties featuring oatmeal and savory seasonings, perfect for a satisfying meal suited for vegetarians and oat lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine boiling water, onion soup, oregano, garlic powder, and Vegex in a bowl.
- Stir until well mixed.
- Add oatmeal to the mixture and stir.
- Form the mixture into burger shapes.
- Fry the burgers until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes after adding the oatmeal. This allows the oats to absorb flavors and moisture, which helps bind the burgers. You can substitute the onion soup with homemade onion seasoning or use vegetable broth for a more personalized taste. If you're looking for a protein boost, consider adding mashed beans or lentils to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oatburgers on whole grain buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and avocado. They pair beautifully with a side of Best Waldorf Salad for a refreshing crunch. You can also serve them with a homemade vegan sauce or dip for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover oatburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pan-fry them on medium heat until warmed through, or place them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This helps retain their crispiness on the outside.
