| Blast from the past. A 60's recipe for veggie burgers or sloppy
joe that's really good and surprisingly beef-like. This is vintage
Cambridge, Mass. (All amounts approx. Never wrote this one down.)
In blender grind up about 1/2 pound walnuts. Then grind up 1/4 to
1/2 pound whole wheat bread. (Stale is better.) Then coarsely grind
or chop 1/2 green pepper. Dump all in large bowl as you grind them.
In blender put 2 eggs, worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Blend
and pour over other stuff. Mix it all up and form patties to cook
in a bit of oil. Serve with ketchup.
Or cook in a mass in a bit of oil, breaking up chunks as it cooks.
Add tomato-based sloppy joe sauce and simmer.
Best suggestion yet - tell me where that tree is. I'll help you
harvest them! Never at a loss for ideas.
