Before I answer the bake-off call…
Haley, my co-blogger, wants cookie recipes. She berated me for slacking on the blog and hording food secrets. While I have not been writing I have been baking, and cooking, and, most importantly, eating. I have loads, mounds, bowlfuls, of cookie recipes. Cookies and all doughs sweet are my weakness, but before I web publish my Christmas treats, I will start the holidays on a veggie note. It is possible. Here is a gem I revised from the Rebar Cookbook: Mushroom Cashew Burgers. The Rebar recipe, Mushroom Pecan Burgers, provides the template for my recipe. I’ve adjusted the ingredients and the spices.
Mushroom Cashew Burgers
1 red diced onion
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp chili pepper
Add:
4 cloves garlic, mined
1 1inch thumb ginger, minced
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp cardamom
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Saute until the mushrooms begin to release their juices and the pan begins to dry out.
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Continue to cook until the liquid evaporates. Take the mushrooms off the stove top and let them cool in a bowl.
1 ½ cups cooked brown rice
1 ½ cups grated carrot
Mulch the mixture in the food processor.
1 cup cashews, roasted and mulched in the food processor (or however you wish to grind them)
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
½ tsp cracked pepper
½ tsp ginger (powdered)
1 tsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
Mix and season to taste (you may add salt, pepper, cayenne, ginger, etc). Shape into patties and saute in your favourite skillet.
It's about time. I'm pumped to recreate this in non-mushroom form due to picky Mikey. We'll see (because seriously, how can you replace a mushroom?).
