Instead of enveloping my veggie haggis burgers in between two bread buns or a pitta bread, these were served with some Brussels Sprouts hash. The Brussels sprouts hash was excellent, but more about that later.



Makes 8
Ingredients
50g pinhead oatmeal (soaked for 1 hour)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, sliced finely
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon Tamari
100g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and grated
100g puy lentils
100g of cooked kidney beans, about 1/2 tin, rinsed and chopped
1x400g tinned cooked kidney beans, drained, rinsed and well mashed
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Sunflower oil for shallow frying
Method
Saute onion, garlic and seasoning in the oil until soft. Add the lentils and carrot and simmer on low heat until the lentils are soft, stirring to prevent sticking. The moisture content of the soaked lentils and carrot should be sufficient, but if not add a very small amount of water. Add the mushroom and allow to soften before adding the chopped kidney beans. Add the drained and rinsed oatmeal. Allow to cool before adding in the mashed kidney beans and combine well. Season to taste. Then shape into 6 - 8 burgers and place in fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before shallow frying in vegetable oil. Fry on both sides until golden. Serve warm.
I just had lunch and I am hungry again by looking at these photos!
ReplyDeleteI have to say these vegan ones look much more appetizing than the original version of haggis.
:)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
So pleased you like these version.
My veggie burgers never look this nice and they are crumblier. I'll try this recipe. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese vegan patties look soooo good! Thanks for the recipe :).
ReplyDeleteOooh, these burgers look so festive, like Christmas decorations! I love the dots of colour from the lentils & red kidney beans.
ReplyDeleteI've never had any success making my own vegan haggis, so I'm looking forward to giving this a go, your recipes always work so well.
Hope you're wrapped up warm where you are!
I'm definately going to try these, thanks for the recipe! I've been looking for a good veggie burger recipe for ages :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, I love veggie burgers and these look very good indeed. I am looking forward to hearing about the sprout hash.
ReplyDeleteyum :) funny i am in the UK right now and just went to the market in Canterbury and thought of you when i saw the vegetarian suet on the shelves, heehee. ps i sure came to scotland at the right time! snow was fantastic and got out before the trains shut down!
ReplyDeleteThey look very good - I'm off to try them!!
ReplyDeleteHi e.
ReplyDeleteI used to have the same problem, not all veggie burgers work, but I assure you this one does. Tried and tested. I hope you enjoy it if you get round to making them :)
Thank you Charlie
:)
Thanks littleblackfox.
I know I too was pleased with the way they looked, but I had not thought festive - liking it!
Although I've tried this version of vegan haggis, I have two other recipes, so will be giving one of them a go in January for Rabbie Burns Night and see how they compare.
I certainly am wrapped up warm, just not enjoying trudging into work each day with delayed or cancelled transport links. But I praise them for doing their best for us commuters.
Thanks sooz.
Let me know how you find these, if you do geta change to make them :)
Thanks Kath.
I will be posting the sprout hash very soon. In fact it should be the next recipe to appear on this blog.
I've been thinking about you EcoGrrl.
ReplyDeleteYour timing to come to the U.K is just so perfect _ SNOW!!!!
Just make sure the suet is suitable for BOTH vegetarians and vegans, NOT ALL ARE.

I did have the haggis nachos but I love your idea of patties - makes me think I really need to make more haggis - it is just so wonderful - and I agree that home made vegie burgers are so much nicer than those in the supermarket
ReplyDeleteThank you Justyna.
ReplyDeleteThanks Johanna,
Haggis nachos will def. be on the left over haggis menu next time.
How much is a 'pinhead' my Dear?
ReplyDelete:) Pinhead oatmeal is not easy to get hold of outside of Scotland, I did however manage to get some in Wales 500g for about £2.00 I think, otherwise just replace with medium oatmeal.
