This brazil nut burger recipe is an occasional special treat. Brazil nuts make a simple but “meaty” burger. In the raw kitchen, raw nuts are a key ingredient. Each nut has a unique texture and flavor that brings something special to each dish.
The great thing about raw vegan burger recipes is that they are extremely versatile. The same recipe can be used to make meatballs for zoodles, a pate for sandwiches or a dip for veggies. Dehydrating the mixture gives it an appearance very similar to a hamburger.
Please beware that the umami, meaty flavor of this recipe comes from several quite salty ingredients. Taste the mix before dehydrating, it should be very undersalted or else the dehydrated patties will be inedible. If you find the final burger too salty, never fear, crumble and use for ground meat in sauces. Additional ingredients can mitigate the salt.
