--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       tb           Olive oil
   2                    Onions
   2                    Celery ribs
   2       cl           Garlic
 125       g            Bulgur wheat
 250       g            Brazil nuts
 300       ml           Vegetable stock
   2       tb           Tomato puree
   2       tb           Parsley -- chopped
   2       ts           Dried mixed herbs
   1                    Egg -- beaten

  In a food processor chop finely the onion, garlic, and celery.
  Seperatly chop nuts and set aside.
  
  Heat oil and add the onion, garlic, and celery--saute until soft.
  Add the nuts and bulgur wheat and saute for a couple of minutes
  until golden brown. Add the stock and simmer until the liquid is
  absorbed.
  
  Stir in tomato puree, parsley, herbs, and the egg. Season with salt
  and pepper and leave until cool enough to handle.
  
  Shape into patties and either cook in oven at 400 F/200 C/Gas 6 for
  15 to 20 minutes until heated through or cook in frying pan. Place
  in burger buns with your favorite garnishes. I like cooked onion
  rings, lettuce, cheese, and fresh tomato.
  
  If you have problems with the burgers falling apart when cooking
  try adding some grated cheese before shaping, this helps.
  
  An alternate serving suggestion is like a falafel. Take tablespoon
  sized amounts of mixture and fry in some oil until gold to dark
  brown. Put inside lightly warmed Pita bread with some salad and
  Chilli sauce.
  
  You can substitute your favorite nuts for the Brazils.
