  Melt the butter or vegan margarine in a large saucepan
  and saute the onion and celery for 10 minutes.  Stir
  in the herbs and flour and cook for a further 1-2
  minutes. Add the stock and stir until thickened, then
  add the soy sauce, yeast extract, nuts, breadcrumbs
  and salt and pepper. Leave the mixture to cool, then
  form into 6 flat burgers about 1/2" thick, and coat
  with dried breadcrumbs. Saute the burgers in a very
  little oil - the frying pan should be "greased" rather
  than oily - for about 3 minutes on each side, until
  browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Garnish and
  serve.
