Vegetarian Burgers

Author: Bharti Kirchner

Want a burger that's low in fat and cholesterol, high in nutrition and fiber, and simply delicious? Try a veggie burger. Not the bland bean burgers of yore, these burgers offer a wide range of exciting flavors, textures, and ingredients that give America's favorite food a unique vegetarian twist, and an international flavor. Among the mouth-watering burgers presented here are: Beet and Mushroom Burgers--perfect for the summer grill; Peanut Burgers--which have a unique Indian accent; Teriyaki Tofu Burgers; and Shiitake-Stuffed Barley Burgers. In addition to serving suggestions, Vegetarian Burgers devotes entire chapters to creating side dishes and condiments that complement a meal of meatless burgers, featuring recipes for SautÉed Asparagus, Double Garlic Potatoes, Honey-Ginger Mustard, and Peanut Sauce.

From the strictest vegans and vegetarians to the curious carnivore looking for a change of pace, all will find the recipes in this unique cookbook a necessary part of their cooking repertoire.
