Whitewater Veggie Burger

June 9, 2011 by
This recipe came from Alligator Pie Catering in Vancouver…my friend Louise picked their recipe book up for my birthday while she was visiting :)
I love this one … has fresh herbs, soy sauce, just a ton of flavor !  And it makes 12 burgers so I have 11 lunches going into my freezer :)   I wrapped it in some bib lettuce and added a few more sliced veggies and salsa…YUM !!!

About Jennifer

I am the mother of 2 beautiful children, Presley-7 and Cash-5 and married to an amazing husband and father, Todd. I have always thought of myself as a healthy person...I've always loved sports, working out and eating healthy. However, looking back, I've actually had a lot of unhealthy habits. I've tried every diet out there : Low fat (How did I think eating a box of fat free snackwells cookies was healthy?), Low carb (can you say fried pork skins GROSS)... as well as a long stint with disordered eating which started in college as a way to avoid those "freshman 15".
Well it wasn't until my 30s that I realized those kind of diets are just a quick fix, not a lifestyle. I think all foods can fit into a healthy diet as long as you practice moderation. I have found that I feel and look my best when I am eating mostly plant-based foods. Not to say I won't indulge in a filet every now and again... but I find that I crave meat less and less ! I have recently been fascinated with trying new vegetarian recipes...I NEVER thought I could give up chicken...used it eat it everyday, but I actually don't miss it at all.
I am trying to pass these healthy eating habits onto my children so they can avoid some of the diseases related to unhealthy diets.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a healthy day !!!!

    I want to try these veggie burgers but don’t eat eggs. Is there a way of making them without them? An egg substitute that will bind the ingredients?

      Hi Terry, I haven’t tried this specific recipe yet…but, I don’t consume eggs myself…so, I often substitute “flax egg” in recipes and I’m pretty sure it will work great with this recipe too. For a flax egg – whisk together 1 tablespoon GROUND flax with 3 tablespoons water…then, if time permits, refrigerate for at least 15 min for it to really “set-up”. I hope this helps. :)

      I tried these using “flax eggs”(thank you, Melissa) and they turned out great! I did not saute them but cooked them on the grill, on a piece of foil lightly sprayed with cooking oil. (I have not yet found a homemade veggie burger that could hold up when cooked directly on the grill.) These were delicious!

    [...] in sea salt.  Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.  I served these with Whitewater Veggie Burgers [...]
