Veggie Pulp Burgers Recipes

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:

• Place oatmeal in bowl; add black beans. Using a potato masher, mash the two together. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the last 2 T of coconut oil. (You'll need them for frying.) Mix well to combine.
• Form into patties (4 dinner size, 6 lunch or snack size).
• Fry in a griddle until the center is hot (about 4 minutes each side) Load them up in a sandwich with your favorite fixings. Bon appetit!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the juice pulp, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, chili powder, egg and breadcrumbs until well incorporated. The mixture should stay together when squeezed. If it's too wet, or is falling apart, try mixing in a bit more breadcrumbs as needed. Portion out into 6 equal mounds, and then shape into patties using your hands. Place on a baking sheet or plate and continue shaping each one.
• Place a griddle pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grease with 1 tablespoon coconut oil and fry 3 patties at a time. Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown, and then flip over and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Return to plate. Grease the griddle once more with the remaining coconut oil and cook the remaining 3 patties in the same way.
• To assemble the burgers, split the buns open, and toast, then spread with mayo or mustard if you wish and fill with a patty, lettuce and slice of tomato. Sandwich together and serve immediately.

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
• If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
