Recipe - Brazil And Bulgar Wheat Burgers

2 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Onions
2 Celery Sticks
2 Garlic cloves
125 g Bulgar Wheat
250 g Brazil Nuts
300 ml Vegetable stock
2 tablespoon Tomato puree
2 tablespoon Parsley; (chopped)
2 teaspoon Dried mixed herbs
1 Egg; (beaten

In a food processor chop finely the onion, garlic and celery. Seperatly
chop nuts and set aside.

Heat oil and add the onion, garlic and celery saute until soft. Add the
nuts and Bulgar wheat and saute for a couple of minutes until golden brown.
Add the stock and simmer until the liquid is absorbed.

Stir in tomato puree, parsley, herbs and the egg. Season with salt and
pepper and leave until cool enough to handle.

Shape into 'burgers' and either cook in oven at 400F/200C/Gas 6 for 15 to
20 minutes until heated through or cook in frying pan. Place in burger buns
with your favorite garnishes I like cooked onion rings, lettuce, cheese
and fresh tomato.

If you have problems with the burgers falling apart when cooking try adding
some grated cheese before shaping this helps.

An alternate serving suggestion is like a falafal. Take tablespoon sized
amounts of mixture and fry in some oil until gold to dark brown. Put inside
lightly warmed Pita bread with some salad and Chilli sauce.

You can substitute your favorite nuts for the Brazils.
