Ingredients
2 cups Cooked and ground pine nuts
0.5 cup Coarsely chopped Brazil nuts
0.25 cup Fresh chopped parsley
1 unit Small chopped onio
2 cloves Crushed garlic
0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (or oat flour)
1 large Egg
2 tablespoons Olive oil
To taste Salt
To taste Black pepper
0.5 teaspoon Ground cumi
0.5 teaspoon Sweet paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the pine nuts: If using fresh pine nuts, cook them in a pressure cooker for about 30-40 minutes after reaching pressure. Peel and finely chop or grind
- Sauté aromatics: In a frying pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Turn off the heat
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground pine nuts, coarsely chopped Brazil nuts, parsley, and the sautéed onion and garlic
- Add seasonings: Season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix well to incorporate the flavors
- Incorporate binder: Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs (or oats). Mix everything with your hands until you get a homogeneous mixture that can be molded. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs, one spoonful at a time
- Shape the burgers: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape the burgers into discs about 1.5 to 2 cm thick. This recipe yields approximately 6 to 8 medium burgers
- Cook the burgers: Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place the burgers and brown for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and crispy on the outside
- Serve immediately: Your Pine Nut, Brazil Nut, and Parsley Burger is ready to be enjoyed
Notes
Do not overcook the pine nuts; they should be soft but not falling apart, to avoid an excessively wet burger mixture.
If the burger mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before shaping to firm it up.
When frying, use medium heat to brown the burgers evenly on the outside and cook them through without burning.
Do not flip the burgers before a golden crust forms to prevent them from sticking or falling apart.
For a more intense flavor, lightly toast the Brazil nuts before chopping.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Raw burger mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, well sealed.
Shaped raw burgers can be frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, then transferred to an airtight bag for up to 3 months.
Cooked burgers can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 3-4 days.
To reheat, pan-fry with a drizzle of olive oil over low heat until warm and slightly crispy; avoid microwaving as it may make them rubbery.
Substitutions: Pine nuts can be replaced with chopped walnuts or cashews; Brazil nuts with almonds or other mixed nuts; parsley with cilantro or chives.
For a vegan version, omit the egg and use a 'flax egg' (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let rest for 5 minutes) or mashed potato as a binder.
For a spicier flavor, add a touch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
To increase fiber content, replace part of the breadcrumbs with fine rolled oats.
For a gluten-free option, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free certified oat flour or rice flour.
Alternative cooking method: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, or until golden.
