6 Tree and Twig heirloom carrots peeled and sliced on the diagonal
6 large shallots or 3 medium red onions sliced
3 stalks of celery sliced on the diagonal

A friend of mine passed this recipe along to me and I decided to give it a try! I was amazed at how much these burgers tasted like beef burgers AND I actually liked them better than beef! So, give it a try and see what you think!
