    From Herbivore to Carnivore with Unique Chickpea, Mackerel, and Beef Burger Recipes

    Mackeral BurgersThe August issue of Foods Matter Magazine showcased a “Burger Fest” of recipes, with a selection each for vegans, pescatarians, and meat-lovers. With barbecue season still in full swing, and labor day weekend get-togethers fast approaching, this seemed like the perfect time to provide some grilling inspiration. But keep in mind, the chickpea / sweet potato and mackerel burgers are quite soft, so it is best to make them a day in advance for overnight refrigeration should you wish to fire them on the barbecue.

    All three of the picnic-friendly recipes are wheat-, gluten-, corn-, soy-, dairy-, egg-, nut-, and nightshade-free to accomodate food allergic or intolerant guests or party hosts! …

    Smoked Mackeral and Amaranth Burgers
    Serves 6

    • 7oz amaranth (or quinoa) grains
    • approximately 21/2 cups wheat and gluten-free vegetable stock
    • 14oz smoked mackerel, pulled into small shreds
    • 1/2 cup soy or oat cream
    • juice 2 lemons
    • freshly ground black pepper

    Cook the amaranth or quinoa in the stock for around 15 minutes or until the grains are soft and the liquid absorbed. (Start with slightly less liquid as the quinoa may absorb less than the amaranth.)

    When cooked mix in the mackerel and cream and season to taste with lemon juice and pepper. Cover and chill for several hours, preferably overnight to ‘firm up’ the mixture. Form into burger shapes and barbecue
    or grill for around 4 minutes on each side. Take care they do not burn.
