Walnut Burgers

Ingredients

1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 green or red pepper, finely chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 eggs
1 cup toasted wheat germ or cooked rice
1 cup parsley, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, minced
1 onion, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp basil
2 tsp curry powder

Directions
  1. Chop celery and onion finely, I would recommend using a food processor, until veggies are minced. Then transfer to a large bowl
  2. Grind walnuts, using food processor, or place walnuts in a large ziplock bag and break with a rolling pin
  3. Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each piece into a log about 15 inches long. Place logs onto cookie sheets, 2 to a sheet, the long way. Flatten the logs out until they are about 3 inches wide with a slight hump going down the middle. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, loaves should be firm. Cut the loaves into diagonal slices 1/2 inch wide, place the slices onto the cookie sheets and return to the oven. Toast on one side, then turn them over to do the other side. This will take about 7 to 10 minutes.
  4. Once the cookies have cooled melt some dark chocolate wafers and use a butterknife to put a genous layer of dark chocolate on the bottom of the cookie.
