Burger Fri
Chrystal Dueno
Well, everyone loves burgers and this is a fine, upstanding, burger-citizen made with some of my favorite ingredients. Brown rice, lentils and beets! They all combine to form the perfect storm of vegan burgerness.
Peel beets and shred with the shredder attachment of your food processor, then set aside. Change the attachment to a metal blade. Pulse the brown rice, shredded beets and lentils about 15 to 20 times, until the mixture comes together, but still has texture. It should look a lot like ground meat:
Now transfer to a mixing bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Use your hands to mix very well. Everything should be well incorporated, so get in there and take your time, it could take a minute or two.
Preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high. Now form the patties. Each patty will be a heaping 1/2 cup of mixture. To get perfectly shaped patties, use a 3 1/2 inch cookie cutter or ring mold (I have pics of how to do it here.) Otherwise, just shape them into burgers with your hands.
Hi Isa, I love these burgers and have made them several times over the years. Earlier this week I made the recipe as 16 petite burgers and I think I overcooked them because they came out a bit dry when compared to the larger burgers. Do you think I should I cut the cooking time in half?
I have frozen these so many times over the years. Cook all the burgers, place the extras on an oiled sheet pan and freeze. Once frozen, pop the patties into freezer bags. When ready to eat, warm in a pan on stovetop with a little oil.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on distinct blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content off their writers and practice a little something from their store. I choose to use some with all the content in my small weblog whether you do not mind. Natually Il provide a link on your own internet weblog. Many thanks sharing.
I have a hard time believing that no one else ended up with burgers that squished out of the bun more with every bite. I made these 2 days ago, making no modifications to the recipe, and it smushed out of my bun so bad that I had to finish it with a fork.
After that, I added a lot more ground walnuts and panko crumbs, and then tried another burger yesterday. I also cooked it longer than the day before in case that was the problem. But it was just as bad as the day before. By my final few bites, there was a paper thin layer of burger between the buns, and a pile of mushy chunks that fell onto my plate.
We grilled these tonight and they stayed burgers! Super impressed with that. I used only 1teaspoon of cumin as I knew 1 T would be too strong for us. It still had a pretty cumin forward taste to me so I will reduce that a bit. Having said that though, I would recommend these over the meat substitute ones you can buy 100%. We will be making these all summer! Thanks for the recipe!
Overall solid recipe! Love the nutrient profile with the walnuts, rice and beans. A little sweet for my taste- I used brown sugar but would probably half it next time. My bbq sauce is also on the sweet side so that may have contributed.
Yes. I made it. One of the best recipe of the veggie vegan burger on the net. Very nice texture with great nutrition. I do like to tweak the recipe to my taste, like replacing onions with loads of other veggies. Until now, I never had a consistent taste and recipe of a veggie burger but with the help of MB, I have made this burger many times with consistent taste. Thanks MB. Full marks.
I made these burgers and they turned out excellent!!! Thank you thank you!!! So delicious and great texture. I used smokehouse barbecue sauce which was already pretty sweet so I omitted the sugar. This will be my go to recipe from now on.
I made this recipe yesterday, no BBQ sauce but a little liquid smoke.
I had rice/quinoa mix, turned out great! Just a little dry, I was thinking maybe adding a vegan egg (flax egg) to make it stick. What do you think?
We did it on the pan and added a little Montreal Steak seasoning.
Yummy!
if you plan on freezing them should i add more sauce or egg to help prevent the crumble? so excited to give these a try!
i have been looking for something i can freeze and throw on the grill when my partner wants an easy burger on the grill night
We feature locally raised, hormone & antibiotic-free Sonoma Mountain Beef burgers, Willie Bird turkey burgers, the plant-based Beyond Burger, Pacific Snapper, Ahi, buttermilk fried chicken, & freshly prepared sides and salads. We also proudly pour local beer & wine. Our menu truly offers something for everyone!
Preparation: Clean the portobello mushrooms by carefully removing dirt from the caps with a kitchen towel or cloth; you can use a little water if needed. Pat dry. Cut the peaches in halves and remove the pits.
Making the sweet potato fries: Preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the sweet potatoes in 1-inch thick, 5-inch long sticks. Put them on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil, salt and thyme over them and put in the oven. The fries need around 30 minutes before they are ready, but you need to stir after 15 minutes.
Making the marinade: Pour olive oil in a small bowl. Add one chopped rosemary sprig, chopped thyme, mashed garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Stir around. Use the other rosemary sprig to brush the mushrooms and peaches with the marinade. When the grill is ready, grill the portobello and peaches for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, while you use the rosemary stick to brush the marinade over them one more time.
Assembling the burger: Slice the buns in halves. Let them get some color on the grill. When done, place a big dollop of guacamole on the bottom bun, and add pea sprouts, tomatoes, spring onion, one portobello mushroom and two peach halves. Add the top of the bun, and insert a stick to hold it all together. Enjoy!
The burger was everything I expected one to be: juicy, dense, chewy, salty, and satisfyingly fatty. But unlike every other burger I've eaten, this one was 100 percent meat-free. And it was doing a shockingly good job at convincing my brain that the substance in my mouth was, in fact, meat.
I recently taste-tested a new meat-free burger called the Impossible Burger as a roomful of marketing executives from Impossible Foods, based in Redwood, CA, scrutinized my every bite. The mini patties, prepared by consulting chef Traci Des Jardins (of San Francisco's Jardinire and The Commissary), look, sizzle, feel, and even bleed like beef burgers. At a certain point, knowing these "bloody" patties in front of me didn't contain meat started to make me feel slightly uncomfortable. As I watched them cook on the electric griddle, I could hear gentle sizzling noises as I watch tiny pools of oil form under each patty.
Unlike veggie burgers you can make or buy in the freezer aisle, you can't replicate the Impossible Burger at home by throwing black beans and sweet potatoes into a food processor. The "meat" is made entirely of plant-based ingredients like potato protein, coconut oil, honeydew melon, and a legume-derived molecule called "heme" that's also found in animal blood (it's what gives meat its texture, color, and faintly iron-like smell.) And where veggie burgers are often lower in fat than traditional beef, a 320-calorie, quarter-pounder Impossible Burger packs in 20 grams of saturated fat (that coconut oil!), four grams more than American Heart Association's recommended daily intake.
Intrigued by this promise and slightly alarmed by how convincing I found the test burgers, I decided to put Impossible's claim to the test by cooking the burgers for two of the more unadventurous carnivores I know: my parents.
The next evening, I bought everything I needed to faithfully recreate the burger I had been served. I caramelized a pot of onions, washed some Butterhead lettuce, and sliced avocado and tomato. I mixed up a small bowl of the Chaey family's signature Pink Sauce (a.k.a. ketchup and mayonnaise), toasted some slider buns, and waited for my parents to come home from work.
All I told them in advance was that I'd gotten a free package of burgers "from work," which is a phrase people tend not to question when you work at a food magazine. So when my father came home first and sat down at the table, he immediately began snarfing down his burger without question. After a few bites, he paused and glanced down.
Despite his skepticism, Dad 100 percent believed the whole "it's beef!" storyline right up until the big reveal, at which point he basically told me if someone gave him a Boca burger and told him it was a hamburger, he would probably believe them, too. Discerning palate, indeed.
Mom had finally picked up on the one detail I'd argue makes it apparent to the discerning eater that the Impossible Burger is not, in fact, beef. When the patties cook up on a griddle, they tend to develop a somewhat crunchy exterior crust that you wouldn't get on a normal beef burger. The jig was up.
And burgers are just the beginning. Impossible Foods researchers are currently at work developing a "cheese" with the same melty, gooey qualities of the real thing, which means an Impossible Cheeseburger may be a product of the not-so-distant future. And beyond? Steak, bacon, chicken, fish, yogurt, cream. Apparently, anything is Impossible.
