Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3/4 cup frozen corn
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large clove garlic, minced
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained, rinsed and patted dry
1 large egg
1/2 cup finely diced Cheddar (about 2 ounces)
6 tablespoons cornmeal
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lime
1 small serrano chile, seeded if desired and minced, optional
Kosher salt
2 cups packaged coleslaw mix
1 ripe avocado, cut into 8 to 12 slices, for serving

Steps:

  • For the burgers: Cook the corn according to the package directions; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and shallot and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper is tender, about 4 minutes. Add the corn, chipotle, coriander, cumin and garlic and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl to cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Put the beans in a food processor with the egg and 1/4 cup of the cooled vegetables and pulse until the mixture is creamy but still a little chunky. Add the bean mixture to the remaining cooled vegetables along with the Cheddar, 3 tablespoons of the cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Shape the bean mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons cornmeal on a plate. Coat the patties in the cornmeal, put on a platter and chill until cooled through and firmer, about 20 minutes.
  • For the slaw: Stir together the cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, serrano if using and salt to taste in a medium bowl. Add the coleslaw mix and toss; chill until ready to serve.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • To serve, put 2 or 3 slices of avocado on each serving plate. Add a burger and top with a spoonful of slaw.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 lentil-brown rice burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

2/3 cup dried brown lentils
1/3 cup brown sushi rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 cup thinly sliced Tuscan kale
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, grated
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
Kosher salt
4 pitas, tops trimmed
Shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes and sliced pickles, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the burgers: Combine 2 cups water, the lentils, rice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until tender, 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes. If there is water left in the saucepan, cook, uncovered, until evaporated.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the kale, garlic, cumin, curry powder and allspice. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pulse the oats in a food processor until finely ground with some coarse pieces. Add the warm lentil mixture and the vegetable mixture and pulse until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool. Form into four 4-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the tahini, 2 tablespoons water and the hot sauce, thinning with more water, if needed. Season with salt and more hot sauce to taste.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the burgers with olive oil on both sides. Grill until well marked, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the pitas until warmed. Serve the burgers in the pitas with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and the tahini sauce.
