Basic seitan burger

I usually like to make more creative recipes, but sometimes a good, basic seitan burger with beans is perfect and it tastes amazing, even if it doesn't have beets or Gods know what my mind creates in the moment...
This burger recipe is tasty, easy to make and you can make it using a grater if you don't want to use a food processor.
They are also high in protein, flavorful, satisfying and oil free :)
The secret is in the spices, guys! You don't actually miss the meat, but the texture and the spice combo. You can always have the feeling if you want, just choose the right (cruelty free) ingredients :)

Ingredients (makes 10-12 patties):

Beet and seitan burger

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I had to do something special :) 

So, I created a new burger recipe :))

This burger it's perfect as a traditional burger or wrapped in puff pastry like a mummy (just make sure that the pastry is vegan). It's really good with mustard, vegan mayo, ketchup or whatever sauce you prefer.

And I really think that the kids will love this one too because it's fun to eat a mummy any day of the year, not only on Halloween. 

And it's also pretty easy to make, because you don't have to cut anything in small pieces. Just toss everything in a food processor and press on. 

I just love to make recipes that taste like I cooked all day, but I actually need just a little time to make them :)

Let's go to the recipe now! 

Simple bean burger with a cashew "cheese" sauce

Who said that vegans cannot enjoy a burger? I think that we can and this version is quite healthy, oil free and gluten free (if you try to avoid gluten).
We enjoyed this with a cashew "cheese" sauce and tomatoes. You can add pickles, lettuce, ketchup mustard or anything else that you like.

350 g beans (red, pinto, black...) (2 cups)
