Savory Raw Vegan Juice Pulp Burgers

This is another frugal recipe. I will never get tired of repeating that nothing should ever go to waste in a raw food kitchen. I am holding this argument to all opponents of juicing who claim that juices are waste of money and nutrients. I also know people who make juices and usually throw away the juice pulp. They do not throw it away because they are wasteful. They throw it away because they actually do not know what to do with it. Over the years I created many recipes that helped me save a lot of money since the produce I am using most of the time is bio-dynamically grown and very expensive. 


I dehydrated my juice pulp patties in the hot New Mexican sun. You may have to use your dehydrator if you live in a climate that is less arid.



Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable juice pulp
  • juice of 1 lemon (add more if needed)
  • 1/4 cup raw rolled oats (optional)
  • 1/4 cup activated flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup activated sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup activated pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 hot chili pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup virgin olive oil (add more if needed)
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tbsp coconut aminos (optional)
  • 1 tsp Celtic sea salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper

Method:
  • Place all ingredients in a bowl of your food processor and blend until they turn into a fairly firm dough. Add more liquid if the dough seems too hard. Add more oats or chia seeds if the dough is too flowing. Adjust the taste to your personal liking.
  • To make burgers take about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the dough. Roll between your hands and flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • You can eat the burgers the way they are or place them on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate for about 4 hours. Serve with a nice green salad and enjoy in good company!

The juice pulp!

The taste and appearance of these burgers depends very much on the vegetable you used to make the juice. You may want to serve them with a creamy cashew or avocado sauce if they seem too "dry" to you. My recipe is a suggestion that is here to inspire you to your own delicious creations. Experiment. It is such a fun!
