Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Olive Oil
2 Onions
2 Celery Sticks
2 Garlic cloves
125 g Bulgar Wheat
250 g Brazil Nuts
300 ml Vegetable stock
2 tb Tomato puree
2 tb Parsley (chopped)
2 ts Dried mixed herbs
1 Egg (beaten

In a food processor chop finely the onion, garlic and
celery. Seperatly chop nuts and set aside.

Heat oil and add the onion, garlic and celery - saute
until soft. Add the nuts and Bulgar wheat and saute
for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Add the
stock and simmer until the liquid is absorbed.

Stir in tomato puree, parsley, herbs and the egg.
Season with salt and pepper and leave until cool
enough to handle.

Shape into 'burgers' and either cook in oven at
400F/200C/Gas 6 for 15 to 20 minutes until heated
through or cook in frying pan. Place in burger buns
with your favorite garnishes - I like cooked onion
rings, lettuce, cheese and fresh tomato.

If you have problems with the burgers falling apart
when cooking try adding some grated cheese before
shaping - this helps.

An alternate serving suggestion is like a falafal.
Take tablespoon sized amounts of mixture and fry in
some oil until gold to dark brown. Put inside lightly
warmed Pita bread with some salad and Chilli sauce.

You can substitute your favorite nuts for the Brazils.
