My sister in Burlington used to claim she was on a quest to find the best veggie burger. She traveled far and wide, even making it to the famed Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, where she was disappointed.
Actually she eventually found that the best veggie burger was her own creation, as she is a great cook. Here at the Co-op there are many burgers, both meated and not for the Co-op shopper to try and find your favorite.
Here is a list of the burgers offered:
Meat
Ground Beef- Conroys or Kilcoyne, both of local origins, each $5.99/lb
Ground Turkey– Organic Prairie $10.99/chub or Stonewood Farms $7.49/chub
Meat Alternatives
Amy’s Quarter Pounders (soy) $7.99/four burgers in freezer
Wildwood Burgers (Soy) $4. For two burgers in refrigerator
Sunshine Burgers (my fave) Original or shitake mushroom $5.49 for three burgers in freezer
Nature’s Burger Mix bulk mix sells for $6.55/lb So you can make your own instructions are on label on bulk bin
My sister’s fave veggie burger
All amounts are vague, perhaps as a veggie burger should be. My sister, after all did live on Haight Ashbury Street back in the day. Have fun and enjoy
Ingredients: Cooked short grained rice 1cup?
Grated cooked zuchinni, carrots…..?
Diced cooked onion (you got it…?)
Garlic
Thyme
S&P
Tahini 1-2Tbspns
Flour ½ cup(Alt GF flour)
Mix together (try to love one another right now), fry till done (the burger, I mean). Serve it any way you like. She says the tahini is what “ties it all together” as the Dude would say.
