Raw veggie burger recipe
To be added shortly!
Directions
1. Throw all your ingredients into food processor and blend.
2. Once blended, I mixed these with some ground flax seeds, which I ground in a coffee grinder because they are too small to blend in the food processor. Again, the flax seeds in raw veggie burger recipes act as a binding agent (keeps the food together so that it's not just a big mess) so you really must pay attention to the flax seeds and you can't leave them out of recipes.
3. Next, I dehydrated the patties. Above are the finished, dehydrated patties.
4. Once your patties are dehydrated, you're ready to assemble your raw veggie burger.
5. Assemble as you would a normal burger. Use your favourite toppings. Here I have used cucumbers, tomatoes, red pepper, and raw mayonnaise. But I used a big romaine leaf as the "bun!"
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw veggie burger recipe? Wondering how can you have a raw veggie burger without meat or bread, etc?
Just get raw-creative!
First, the patty.
Raw veggie burger patties are usually made from a savory concoction of vegetables and a binding agent (like flax seed, for example). The mixture is molded into patties and dehydrated in a dehydrator, which results in a delicious, hearty patty. When preparing your patties, be mentally prepared that they will be a lot smaller after dehydration as much of the moisture is removed during the dehydration process.
The bun? You can either make a bread or cracker by dehydrating them, or do what I do. Wrap the patty in a crisp leaf or romaine lettuce and you're good to go. :)
The condiments? Try this nut-based raw mayonnaise recipe or raw ketchup!

Oh...my...gawd. You are doing an invaluable service to newbie raw foodists such as myself by providing enough "past life" dish replacements to ensure that we never feel in want or deprived when we think of all the processed, restaurant-style food we used to eat and thus never fall off the raw food wagon. THANK YOU!!!

Is there an actual recipe? I've been clicking around but I can't seem to find what ingredients I need and how much.

Once these are dehydrated, how long do they last. How would you store them. Thanks

Two options:
1. Do not dehydrate them completely. In other words, there is some moisture left. (This is the preferred option because they taste better this way.) Store these in the fridge (or freezer I guess). They won't last very long.
2. Dehydrate so that there is NO moisture left - completely dry! Store them in a jar or a ziploc. Can store for a couple of months if there is NO moisture left. (Good test - squeeze and they shouldn't move an inch.)

In option #2 you can keep in a pantry. No need to refrigerate.

I make my raw burgers with the aforementioned veggies but I add mushrooms too. I think they give them more of a meaty consistency. I dry them most of the way and store them in the fridge in a ziplock with some paper towels to absorb excess moisture. They last a while for me.
These also make great burrito filling too. :)

I just came across this recipe as I have been trying to make veggie burgers with flax seed and I am trying to cut down on grains and beans at the moment. I have tried them with ground flax seeds and whole flax seeds and both times they have come out tasty but quite gelatinous!!! I don´t have a dehydrator, would this take the gelatinous consistency out? Thank u

Heehee, yes, get a dehydrator if you can afford it. You'll find a world of difference : ) Dehydrating opens up a whole new world of options for raw food.

Here's a raw veggie burger recipe. You could substitute flax seeds for the sesame seeds if you want.
Veggie Burgers
1 large red onion
1 large bell pepper
3 carrots
1 small head cauliflower
1 lg. stalk broccoli
1 C almonds, soaked 12-24 hours
1 C sunflower seeds, soaked 5-6 hours
1/4 C sesame seeds, soaked 5-6 hours
5 cloves garlic
2 T Braggs or to taste
1 t cumin
2 T dried Cilantro or 1-2 C fresh
(can add mushrooms too if you like)
Blend all of the above ingredients and seasonings in a champion juicer with solid plate, or a food processor. This blended food is your patty mixture. Form and put 1/2" thick patties on a teflex sheet and place trays in dehydrator. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 8-12 hours or until desired texture is obtained. Flip your burgers after 4 hours and remove teflex sheets, continue to dehydrate for 4-5 hours or until desired moisture is obtained.

When I remove my teflex sheets for the veggie burgers, do I put them directly on the plastic tray? My plastic trays have big diagonal holes that are too big for the burgers.....
Thankyou!

Yes - put them directly on the train but DON'T DO IT UNTIL THEY ARE QUITE DRY ALREADY (otherwise you will get your trays dirty)

Thank you so much for posting these wonderful recipes! I was wondering if you can post the ingredients of your veggie burger as a response to this comment? I am going to purchase my first dehydrator this month and am eager to make them. Thanks again!
