Well, I finally got around to creating a couple Plant Powered No Sugar No Grains (NSNG) burger recipes…
- Basic White Bean & Seed Burgers
- Curry Patties
For these 2 new recipes, I used my usual “burger formula,” except I substituted 1/4 cup ground flax seeds and 1/4 cup chia seeds for the 1/2 cup oat flour that I used before.
Here are my 3 previous gluten free burger recipes. If you want to make these NSNG, then just make the same substitution…
- Carrot Sunflower Bean Burgers (GF)
- Italian Cannellini Bean Burgers (GF)
- Bird-Friendly White Bean Burgers (GF)

Basic White Bean & Seed Burger Ingredients
BASIC WHITE BEAN & SEED BURGERS
1/4 C sunflower seeds, ground
1/4 C chia seeds
1/4 C ground flax seeds
dash celery salt
dash garlic powder
1/4 t black pepper
1/2 t smoked paprika
1/2 t dried parsley
1 t dried chives
1 t nutritional yeast
15 oz can rinsed white beans OR 1 pint homemade cooked white beans
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 C chopped onion
1/4 C chopped carrot
1 T tahini
1 t vegan Worcestershire OR tamari
1/4 t liquid smoke
1/4 t Tabasco
Coconut oil or Villa Cappelli olive oil (for cooking the patties)
Parchment paper (for forming the patties)
ASSEMBLY:
1. Use a food processor to grind the seeds into a powder.
2. Combine the ground seeds and dry spices in a large mixing bowl.
3. Use the same food processor to puree the beans, vegetables and wet ingredients.
4. Add the wet puree to the mixing bowl and stir.
5. Spread the burger batter evenly in the bottom of the bowl. Use a knife to make 6 even portions.
Divide the burger batter into 6 portions.
6. Spoon out each portion onto a large piece of parchment paper.
Drop burger batter portions onto a large piece of parchment paper.
7. Flatten and form the patties with the spoon. There’s no need to get your hands dirty!
Flatten and form the 6 patties.
8. You should be able to cook these right away, but I typically refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, to allow the seeds to fully absorb the moisture.
9. Cook with oil over medium heat. Flip over every few minutes until the burger patties are nicely browned.
This one was cooked in Villa Cappelli olive oil.
10. Serve. Have fun with your food!

11. The “raw” patties can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for several months. Store the patties on the parchment paper. To cook from frozen, simply thaw the patties on the counter for about 15 minutes before cooking.

Curry patty with a very simple sauce made of tomato sauce, red curry paste and coconut milk.
I’ve been working on this Curry Soup recipe for a while, and I do believe I’ve got it right! It is so very creamy and delicious. (NSNG = No Sugar, No Grains)
It is mildly spicy, so if you need to kick it up a notch, then add some crushed red pepper flakes to your individual soup bowl, or else experiment with adding some Thai chilies to the simmering soup itself. (I’m usually afraid to over-spice the soup so I tend to err on the side of mildness!)
This recipe makes about 9 pints. Have some for dinner and freeze the rest in pint jars!
Here are some notes about a few of the ingredients. Once you get these items, you’ll be able to make this recipe again and again!
Garam Masala is a blend of Indian cooking spices. I get mine from the bulk spice section of my food Co-op. The blend includes cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, pepper and coriander.
Medium Yellow Curry Powder is a spice blend that I have from the Savory Spice Shop. It contains coriander, turmeric, ginger, fenugreek, anise, cumin, Saigon cinnamon, black pepper, regular yellow mustard, cayenne, mace, and cardamom.
Red Curry Paste (from Thai Kitchen) contains red chili pepper, garlic, lemongrass, galangal (thai ginger), salt, shallot, spices and kaffir lime.
Ginger Juice (from The Ginger People) is a convenient way to flavor soups with ginger. I just don’t like to hassle with fresh ginger. And, I guess I prefer ginger juice to powdered ginger.
Natural Value Coconut Milk, in the BPA-free can, is the brand of coconut milk I buy. It does not contain guar gum like some other brands do.
