Vegetable Lovers Burger Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a small frying pan put 1 tsp of olive oil. Then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic and saute for about 10 minutes.
• 2. In a large bowl, put in the sauted mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Then add the rest of the ingredients except the eggs. Beat the eggs well then add.
• 3. Mix the ingredients well and let them sit and rest for about 15 minutes for the flavors to mix.
• 4. Put the rest of the olive oil in the frying pan and heat the oil until it snaps from a drop of water. Make each patty and place in the pan. Fry them 5 or so minutes on each side.
• 5. Sprinkle on the steak sauce while cooking. (optional) Then serve.
• 6. If you are putting them on the grill, leave out step 4. Add your regular condiments and enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slabs and pat dry with paper towel. Arrange tofu on one half of a rimmed baking sheet; brush both sides with oil. Spread mushrooms on the other half of the baking sheet; toss with 2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper.
• On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss beans and grated beet with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper, then spread the mixture into one layer.
• Transfer both baking sheets to the oven. Roast bean-beet mixture, tossing occasionally, until beans begin to split and beets are tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Roast mushrooms and tofu until golden and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 25 minutes. Let everything cool.
• Place nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add cooled bean-beet mixture, mushrooms, tofu, panko, cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, scallion, garlic, pimentón and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until ingredients are just combined. Pulse in tempeh and rice but do not overprocess. You want small chunks, not a smooth mixture. Scrape mixture into a bowl and chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days (you can also freeze the burger mix).
• When you are ready to make the burgers, divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Return to the fridge until just before grilling. They grill better when they start out cold.
• Heat the grill. Cook the burgers over a low fire until they are charred on both sides and firm when you press on them, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If they start to burn before they firm up, move them to the sides of the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat. Alternatively, you can cook these on a grill pan or in a skillet over low heat.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Grill burgers 8 min. or until heated through (160°F), turning after 4 min. and brushing with 2 Tbsp. dressing.
• Place greens on 4 plates; top with burgers and vegetables.
• Drizzle with remaining dressing.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add frozen veggies and cook for 1 minutes or so to soften. (This is also the stage where you would cook onions and garlic if you would like to add them!).
• Remove veggies to a large bowl. Stir in rice, oats, walnuts, cheese, flour, basil, salt and pepper into vegetable mixture. Add the egg and stir until starchy, about 1 minute. (Make sure to beat the egg BEFORE adding to the other ingredients. Otherwise your patties won't bind as well.).
• Using a 1/3 cup dry measure, scoop and form mixture into 8 patties.
• In the same large skillet you cooked the veggies, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Cook patties in oil until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes.
• Serve however you like - I suggest inside of pita bread.
