In my pursuit for a great Ashland Oregon Veggie Burger I've had to pretty much make it myself. What better way to enjoy a vegetarian burger than to grill it? Just for a giggle I made sure to have a vegan tofu dog as well. As you can see in the images you could very easily make a (mostly) healthy organic burger dish with ingredients from the Ashland Food Co-op. Here's what I used:
Grilled Crimini Mushrooms:
- chop some garlic and mushrooms
- add a little bit of wine
- marjoram and thyme (fresh from the garden)
- wrap it all up in some tinfoil to grill.
- Magnifique!
Veggie Burger and Veggie Hot Dog
- Amy's All American Veggie Burger and Tofurkey Tofu Frank
- Rudy's White Hamburger Buns and Wheat Hot Dog Rolls
- Fakin' Bacon (organic tempeh)
- Grilled Sweet Onions & Raw heirloom tomatoes from the Farmer's market
- Organic Valley Baby Swiss Cheese
- Home-made dill Pickle (The best dill in Southern Oregon)
- In addition the hot dog was prepared with organic Sauerkraut and organic yellow deli mustard
What's to drink? A China Cola because I just can't do the aspartame thing…
Just as a little aside – I wish the Frank and the Burger had NO soy as it is one of the most likely GMO products and there's no guarantee they are truly organic. The only items worse in this category (or equally as bad) are Canola Oil (please stop using this), CORN (the ultimate sadness – almost all of it is pretty much GMO), cotton, potatos, tomatoes, crookneck squash and of course soon to be beets. Why are we allowing these harmful products to kill us? Look into it and you decide whether it's greed, malice, ennui or mistake.
