Are you looking for vegetarian burger recipe? Try these Sweet Potato Buckwheat Burgers! They are perfect for anyone who is looking for meat free recipe ideas as well as vegans.
Place the diced sweet potatoes in a sauce pan and pour in water. Just enough to cover them. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook until soft (about 10 minutes). When done, drain them and set aside.
At the same time cook the buckwheat following the package instructions.
Meanwhile: Dice the onion. Peel and grate/shred the carrots. Saute them in a skillet with some olive oil (medium-low heat) until translucent. When done, set aside.
Option 1: With food processor
In a food processor combine drained sweet potatoes, cooked buckwheat, sautéed vegetables, curry powder, salt and pepper and roughly chopped parsley. Process until combined using the pulse button. Important: Don’t process until completely mushy.
Option 2: Without food processor
Transfer the sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl. Mash them with a potato masher or fork. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Take some of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Transfer it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Press down until you get the desired thickness. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven at 360°F/180°C for 10 minutes before turning each of them over. Bake for a further 10 minutes or until they are brown and feel hard to touch.
Serve with buns of your choice and lots of veggies, including guacamole!
