Carrot-Pecan Burgers ~ raw vegan goodness! mmmmm…

I love this recipe! :P I keep googling it every time I want to make it… so I may as well post it here! :) 

Recipe by Alissa Cohen.

Ingredients: 

4 medium carrots
1 cup pecans
1 cup mushrooms (recipe states “button”, but I love using portabellos too)
1 cup onion
3 tablespoon cilantro
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch black pepper

Preparation: 

Remember to add some herbs to taste! The original recipe calls for .5 teaspoon each of dried fennel, coriander, and curry…however feel free to play with this and experiment.

In a food processor, blend carrots until diced. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Remove from processor and form into burgers. Place burger on a mesh dehydrator screen and dehydrate at 105 for 7-8 hours.

They darken up in the dehydrator and taste absolutely delicious!! If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can bake them but then their active living enzymes go and the nutritional value diminishes.
