TwitterHow to make Lentil Walnut Veggie Burgers Video. Veggie Burgers are a nutritional alternative to beef burgers. Many people don’t think of making their own veggie burgers but they are really easy to make at home. Store bought veggie burgers are nutritional but often very high in sodium and preservatives. You can substitute the eggs in this recipe with “flax eggs” which are a mix of 6 tbsp ground flax to 2 tbsp boiling water. The milk in this recipe can be substituted with either soya milk or rice milk. This makes the recipe completely vegan! Lentils are high in fiber which makes them a good protector against bowel cancer. I recommend organic, low sodium lentils if you are buying canned. They are an excellent source of protein and are an important source of B vitamins, especially B3, which is essential for both a healthy nervous system and digestive system. They are high in iron, zinc and calcium and are a good replacement for red meat. Like meat, the iron in lentils is better absorbed when they are eaten with a good source of vitamin C like leafy green vegetables. Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat that is essential for our bodies, but that the body cannot produce. (Re omega 3 see also flaxseeds.blogspot.com ) Walnuts are also a very good source of monounsaturated fats. Walnuts contain many powerful antioxidants, including ellagic and gallic acids, pus antioxidant phenols and vitamin E. The minerals copper and manganese are also found in abundance in these tasty nuts.

I am on my first day of being vegan…I wanna know what I’m NOT supposed to eat…like milk, eggs, cheese…please…
Tried this recipe the other day… it was awesome! added mushrooms which was an extra bonus. Thanks for the recipe!
How can you call yourself a vegetarian if you consume eggs?
Hypocrites.
@paigeywaigey2009 you can make flax eggs instead. 6 tbsp ground flax to 2 tbsp boiling water
@amberled i was just thinking about using oatmeal instead of wheat germ this time around…glad to hear it worked out! great idea with the veggie”meatballs”!
You can make the recipe vegan, you don’t have to use eggs
Looks fantastic! For people looking for a healthier recipe, I would skip the white bun and cheese and definitely teh homogenized milk (homogenization is a pretty brutal process) and just eat the burger with veggies on it. But the burger does look great.
erm, i know the alternative for milk is soya or rice, but what can i use instead of the eggs ?
OMG! I made this burger, and it tasted so good! I just improvised and used soy milk and the old fashioned oatmeal. The oatmeal also was an extra binder instead of eggs. I taught you can use this recipe to make vegemeatballs!
THE LENTILS ARE CHICKPEAS
