These burgz have me FAH-REAKING OWWWWWWTTTTTT.The sauce. Er my gerd. THE SOWCE. It’s like thick spicy nacho cheese in whole food form. Like blended up cashews and hot sauce say whaaaaaa? Foodgasm citay. Every Sunday I roast a bunch of broccoli and sweet potatoes. Since the big bunches of broc were on sale for 99 cents at Kroger, I obviously bought enough of it to feed a small army. So naturally I thought, “what if I put my roasted broccoli IN my veggie burgers?” The light bulks were going off left and right. I wanted hot sauce in the burgers, in the burger sauce, and on top of the burgers with hot saucy sauce. Hot sauce all day err day. Side note about the vegan worcestershire sauce in this recipe—you shouldn’t leave it out. It gives these boys a great meaty flavor. I bought mine at Whole Foods, along with the whole wheat bread crumbs.I’m trying to create a super cool bean burger for Alchemy’s menu and all I know is that I want cashew mayo allllll over it. What is cashew mayo, you ask? It’s basically soaked cashews blended with a bit of water and some lemon juice. I was lazy and didn’t add lemon juice because #lezbehonest, there’s nothing worse than using a squirt of lemon and having an awkward whole lemon left with no lemon recipes to use it up in. I’m lazy, okay?Would you just look at that bright orange hue?! I’m short of breath over here. I also didn’t soak the cashews for the amount of time that you’re supposed to because I’m lazy, okay? And sometimes following the rules is over-rated. I put water in the tea kettle and poured all that hot goodness over the cashews. I let them soften up for twenty minutes or so before watching them turn into nacho cheese sauce in the food processor. Oh how I adore my food processor. It makes magic happen. I MEAN IT TURNED CASHEWS AND HOT SAUCE INTO NACHO SAUCE!!!! Not YO sauce.There’s something else ridiculously fantastical about these burgers. They stick together. Like majorly. They’re one mighty firm veggie burger, yet they’re egg-less and totally vegan! Slam dunkaroo if I do say so myself. PS—If you have kiddos (or a boyfriend) that hates broccoli, I’m pretty sure they would more than tolerate it in this burg.
