I wrote earlier about Kokkoh, a special grain-milk powder, which I think would be an excellent ingredient to include in the burger recipes for my dream diner, Burger Number Seven. It's a flour mixture of roasted ground grains, seeds, and beans that you can prepare ahead of time and then add to your soups, desserts, and breads as needed.
For Burger Number Seven diners, Kokkoh could be used as part of the "soup" and "dessert" ingredients in the burger recipes and would act as a binding agent to keep the patty's shape and form. It could also be used in the sesame buns and side dishes on the menu, such as cookies, brownies, and even a beverage.
This is going to be fun, experimenting with new recipes. I'll have to see what's already out there — what things other people have already made using Kokkoh!
The following recipe for making Kokkoh grain-milk powder is from Julia Ferre's cookbook, Basic Macrobiotic Cooking, 20th Anniversary Edition.
Kokkoh — Roast separately, page 62 [dry roasting directions]
Cool and mix together. Yield: 2 1/2 cups
1 cup brown rice, roasted
1/2 cup sweet brown rice, roasted
1/2 cup whole oats, roasted
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds, roasted
2 Tbsp. azuki beans, roasted
It would be interesting to try using other types of grains, seeds, and beans in this recipe too.
Cheers!
