Nut Burgers

  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 teasp. dried herbs
  • 2 slices of ‘good’ bread: (Spelt or gluten-free bread)
  • 1 dessertspoon savoury yeast flakes (available from health shops)
  • 1 dessertspoon low salt soy sauce, (called ‘tamari’)
  • 1/2 zucchini
  • 1 and  half cups nuts or sunflower seeds, or a combination  (Sunflower seeds are cheaper and just as good)
  • 1/4 cup water
  1.  Place all ingredients in food processor. Blend. Add a little extra water if mixture is too dry. (Depends on amount of zucchini )
  2. Drop mixture by the spoonful into a hot pan greased with olive oil. Turn after about 5 minutes as for pancakes. Flatten out a little. After further cooking, turn again. Altogether they need about 15-20 minutes on medium heat.


These are like vegie-burgers. The yeast flakes makes them very tasty. You can serve them in a wrap, or as a compliment to salad or cooked vegetables.
