Burger patties made of banana blossom

O, how I love to eat to my heart's content! Don't we all? Most of the time I have these sudden cravings for, well, unhealthy food. It's okay, as long as you eat it in moderation they say. But, I'm a big eater. 😅I have those moments of non-stop eating like not feeling full at all. On those times, I wish I have healthy options on the food I eat. Because, in reality, we have to stay in checked of our health. We are what we eat, that's the truth.

I first found this way of making healthy burger patties when I was young. It was during the Holy Week and as Catholics we practice the no-meat-diet. My cousin was craving for some burgers at that time and she suggested that we could make patties out of banana blossom. I'm not sure if you have tried it yet, but, in our province it's a common vegetable. I chopped it to tiny bits, mirroring the looks of ground pork/beef. It stains bad, gladly, I used disposable gloves while preparing this. I added a cup of chopped mushrooms too, because, why not? It enhances the flavor so much! :)

These two ingredients are the mains of this recipe, for added flavor, I used onions, garlic, and pepper. To form the mix into patties, I used eggs and a little flour as extender. It's a pretty easy recipe. The chopping was the only hard thing to do, this would have been done after 20 mins or so if I had a food processor.

And here's the finish product!!! I was able to make 10 palm-sized patties. Since these were made of healthy ingredients, I was able to munch it in a very short time, guilt-free. Stay healthy and full! :)
