Back in February a fellow artist and dear friend of mine, Lorelie Gumbiner shared a
recipe with me. She runs Enchanting Elegance
and creates some amazing stuff, I highly recommend her products. The recipe she shared with me was for a
veggie burger made from sweet potatoes featured on How Sweet It Is.
Hubby and I tried it out that very night. It was a pretty easy recipe and it tasted
pretty good. After trying it their way
we decided to get a bit creative and try it our way.
Ingredients
2 medium
Sweet Potatoes
1 Can
Cannellini Beans
2 bulbs
roasted garlic
1 Egg
Panko Bread
Crumbs

1 ½ avocado sliced

We started out by baking the sweet potatoes in the oven.

Next we put two huge cloves of garlic in the oven covered them
with olive oil and baked. If you've never made roasted garlic before, here’s a great video on how to do it.
The Sauce
Pop out the little garlic pieces from the clove and mash up,
I like to do mine really fine.

Combine the yogurt, sour cream and maple syrup in a large
bowl then add the garlic in and mix.

We
added some onion salt and a dash of Worcestershire here. Hubby likes his a bit spicier so adding a
little bit of horseradish here would be a great addition.
The Burger
Put the peeled sweet potato in a large bowl with the mashed beans.

Now season this mixture as you would a bowl of meat for
hamburgers.

I used onion salt, sea salt, some of the roasted garlic, pepper,
an egg and some Panko breadcrumbs. I had
to double up the breadcrumbs because the burger was really soft.

After allowing them to rest in the fridge for about 15
minutes, add to an oiled frying pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each
side.

The original recipe called for a bun and some veggie toppings;
we don’t usually eat bread unless it’s homemade so I opted for just the patty
with the sauce and the avocado. The
first bite was a little odd, so I removed the avocado, the texture just wasn't working for me. But the rest was very
good.

We had loads left over so hubby ended up making it a couple
more times and we changed it up a bit by adding some chopped spinach to it.
Over all it worked out really good.
Have a recipe to share?
