1/2 cup walnuts pieces
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sage ground
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon sage ground
cucumber slices

Chop 2 tablespoons of the walnuts and set aside for garnish. Place remaining nuts in a blender container. Cover and blend at low speed until finely chopped. In a medium bowl, mix finely chopped walnuts, ground beef, egg, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon sage and pepper until well blended. Shape into four patties.

Spray cold grate with non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil. Place patties on grill about 4 inches above medium coals. Turning only once, cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium or until desired doneness.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix sour cream, salt, onion powder and 1/8 teaspoon sage. Set on edge of grill. Over low heat, stir until warm (do not boil).

To serve, place patties on a platter. Pour sour cream sauce over. Sprinkle with reserved chopped walnuts and garnish with cucumber slices.
