Veggie Burgers with Yogurt Sauce
Elaine Kwedder of Shenandoah, Pa., was looking for a recipe for a homemade veggie burger. Amanda Milewski of Eldersburg, Md., sent in a recipe she cut out from a parenting magazine some years ago and makes on a regular basis. She says that her family finds that the burgers are a more flavorful alternative to the store-bought frozen veggie burgers they have tried.
VEGGIE BURGERS
WITH YOGURT SAUCE
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 onion, finely minced
1 sweet potato, peeled and grated
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons pickle relish
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
In a large bowl, combine the egg, carrot, onion, sweet potato, flour and baking powder. Add salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into six 5- to 6-inch patties and set aside.
Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, ketchup and relish. Set aside. In a large skillet, heat the oil until very hot. Saute the burgers for 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the burgers to plates or set on buns and serve with yogurt sauce. Makes 6 burgers.
