Vegan Burgers (Hamburguesas Vegana)

Happy Friday and Summer Solstice! To celebrate we have vegan burgers. A mixture of fresh vegetables, herbs, spices combined with a few special ingredients create a unique and hearty vegan burger. Make them small, fatty or stack them. Slathered in BBQ sauce or topped with vegan cheese. Once in a bun with the fixings they are so yummy. Tested by a mixture of people, even kid-approved! :) I took two of my recipes to create a new spin that is surprisingly "meaty". See how to make them on FaceBook or YouTube, get the recipe below in English and my loose Spanish. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 Cups Pre-Cooked Peurano Beans or Garbanzo
2 Tbsp Freshly Minced Herbs (Cilantro & Parsley)
1 1/2 Cups Vital Wheat Gluten
4 Cloves Garlic - MInced
1 Onion - Chopped
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce (reduced sodium)
1/4 Cup BBQ Sauce
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Dijon Mustard 
1/2 tsp Salt & Pepper
2 tsp Paprika
2 Tbsp Potato Starch
2 Cups Pecans 
2 Tbsp Oil (Avocado, Olive..)
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Coconut Sugar 
Opt: 1 tsp Liquid Smoke

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Add a little avocado oil or vegetable broth to a pan. Over medium-low sauté the onions until golden and fragrant. Add the garlic cook another minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Add the pecans to a food processor, pulse into a fine crumb or chop finely.
3. Add the beans to a large bowl and mash leaving some chunks. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together. Knead for 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Shape into patties. Pan-fry, bake or grill. Add BBQ sauce or vegan cheese!
5. For pan-frying heat avocado oil or your favorite over medium heat. Once hot, add the veggie burgers. Add a lid on top. Lower the heat to low and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Flip. Cook another 10 or as desired. Serve as you desire, we had a bun with the fixings! Yum! 

Notes: I'm nearly positive this recipe would work with a gluten-free flour, it wouldn't be as "meaty" but still very good. I've not tested this but could if you'd like. :)
