In
a blender, puree the red pepper until liquefied, adding water as
needed for blending. Stir together with the ground flax seeds and let
the flax seeds soak in this for 15 minutes or so, until the flax seeds
have become gooey. This is what will hold the burgers together.

In a food
processor fitted with an “S” blade, pulse the mushrooms, walnuts,
jalapeno, onion, and celery until chopped finely. Stir in the red pepper
and flax mixture and two tablespoons olive oil.

Form
burgers and place on a teflex or plastic sheet. Spread just a bit of
olive oil on your sheets so the burgers will flip easily, if needed. Dehydrate for
about 2 hours then flip onto a regular dehydrator screen and let finish
dehydrating, which takes about another 2 hours.

The
avocado mayo is simple. Just blend the avocado, agave, vinegar and
spices until creamy. A blender will make this nice and creamy, but mashing with a fork would probably
suffice.

the burgers on a bed of lettuce leaves, with a dollop of avocado mayo,

Yes! I've actually been meaning to look up raw mushroom burger recipes & here one shows up in my blog feed! Magick :O)
This looks delicious!! I am definitely giving it a try. How much of a part do the walnuts play, though? My sister has major tree nut allergies, so I'd love to have a way to make this for her without her blowing up like a puffer fish. 🙂
This looks awesome!
I just wish I had some mushrooms to make it with…
Looks amazing! My husband might even eat them … and like them!!
this looks delicious, and the ingredients are not far-out either. think i'll make this for my love when she gets back from her trip 🙂
I have a blender, but no food processor:/ would the blender work instead?
