Vegetarian Burgers

Directions

In a blender, finely chop celery, onion, scallion and garlic or dice them by hand finely.

Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the barley, chick peas, oatmeal, salt, paprika, basil, soy sauce and pepper.

Mix them thoroughly with a wooden spoon or with your hands.

Add the chopped celery, onion, scallion and garlic to the barley mixture and mix again.

Shape into six burgers.

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet.

Add burgers and brown 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or bake the patties at 350℉ (180℃) on a lightly oiled cookie sheet for 25 minutes.

Serve on a hamburger bun with sprouts and tomato slices or ketchup.
