Dry-pan roast the pecans. When cooled, process to a coarse powder.

tender, 10 to15 minutes. Add hoisin sauce and mix well.

heat and reduce the sauce remaining in the skillet until very thick,
stirring often for 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce over the vegetable

Pulse several times until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Transfer to a large bowl and mix in ground pecans and 1-1/4 cup
crumbs, with your hands. Season with salt.

Form into 3-inch patties about 1/2-inch thick, mixing in extra crumbs
if patties don't hold their shape. They will be delicate, so handle
gentle.

Broil or grill patties until brown on both sides and heated through.
Served on toasted buns with lettuce, onion and ketchup. Makes 12.
