3 cloves garlic, sliced
•
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
•
1 & 1/2 cups dried bread crumbs

A vegan burger alternative made from eggplants, onions and bread crumbs, served on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes and sweet pickle chips. (Harald Walker)
•
Directions:
•
Cut the eggplants in small cubes.
•
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a very large frying pan and add the eggplant pieces to cook.
•
You want to cook the eggplant down to a mush, so from time to time add a bit of water to help the cooking process. It will be cooked off in the end. Continue cooking the eggplant until it is no longer little cubes, but one big mass.
•
Put the eggplant mass in a large bowl.
•
Lightly saute the spring onions and garlic.
•
Add the garlic and onions to the eggplant mass and mix.
•
Add the nutritional yeast, mustard and sambal oelek.
•
Add in the bread crumbs and mix well.
•
Taste the mixture and season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.
•
Chill the mixture for half an hour before forming the patties.
•
Form the patties.
•
Heat the last tablespoon of oil in a frying pan.
•
Fry the patties 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
•
We enjoyed these on a bun, with lettuce and tomatoes and sweet pickle chips.

Looks so good. Last night I made lentil/cashew burgers and topped it off with grilled eggplant.

I burned the eggplant, didn’t chill long enough because I was in a rush, and subbed ground flax-seed for the bread crumbs since I’m trying to go semi low-carb with my diet
•
And these still came out tasting good haha
•
Will be making them again, thanks for the recipe
