JAMIE OLIVER'S VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel and roughly chop 1 onion, then place it in a food processor. Add the mushrooms and pulse until just finely chopped. (Be careful not to overprocess into a paste.) Transfer mixture to a large bowl and wipe out the bowl of the food processor. Add torn bread to the processor, pulse until it forms fine crumbs, then transfer crumbs to the mushroom mixture.
• Add black beans and coriander, season well with salt and pepper, then mix together until thoroughly combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into 1-inch-thick patties. Rub all over with oil and dust with ground coriander, then place on an oiled baking sheet.
• Roast patties until dark and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle the burgers with the Cheddar. Let burgers cool slightly to firm up. While the burgers cool, transfer the buns to the hot oven and heat for a few minutes until toasted.
• Meanwhile, peel and very finely chop the remaining 1/2 onion. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes. Zest the lime on top, then halve the lime and squeeze lime juice on top, to taste. Add a few shakes of hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pit, peel and finely slice the mango and avocado.
• Spread the yogurt on the bases of the rolls or buns, then top with half the salsa, the mango and the avocado. Add the burgers, the remaining salsa, extra Tabasco and cilantro leaves, then pop the lids on, press down lightly and serve immediately.

NUT BURGERS (VEGETARIAN)

Steps:

• Place walnuts and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mash garbanzo beans with a fork, or chop in a food processor. Stir in the onion, egg, parsley, and toasted nuts. Season with pepper and seasoning blend, and mix well.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Divide the bean mixture into 2 patties, and fry in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until well browned and heated through. Place a slice of cheese over each patty, and remove from heat.
• Place the pita round in the same dry skillet the nuts were in, and heat for about 1 minute on each side. Cut the round in half, spread ranch dressing inside of each, and line the pockets with romaine leaves. Place a cheesy patty into each one, and top with sliced tomato and avocado. Serve with tortilla or potato chips.

VEGETARIAN ESSENTIALS: SUPER AWESOME BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a blender, or food processor fitted with an S-Blade to make this recipe.
• 3. The beans are an important element in the flavor of these burgers. I make my own (I will share the recipe in a bit); however, when it comes to canned beans, some of my absolute favorite ones are Bush's Baked Beans. Those folks know how to make 'em tasty. If you want to make your own, check out my best... https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/other-side-dish/cooking-under-pressure-brilliant-baked-beans.html?r=1
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. Cook the rice according to package directions, and then allow to cool.
• 6. Add the beans to a large bowl, and crush with a fork. Do not turn them into mush... leave some bits.
• 7. Place the sunflower seeds into a blender/food processor, and blend until fine, but do not blend to the point that it becomes a paste. Trust me, it does not take long for that to happen.
• 8. Add the remaining ingredients, but not the rice, and use one-second pulses until everything is nicely combined.
• 9. Add the blended ingredients, along with the rice into the large bowl with the beans, and mix with wet hands until combined, then shape into burger patties.
• 10. If you are making sliders, you will probably get about 20; if you are doing full-size patties, you will probably get about 8.
• 11. You can stick these into a 370f (188c) oven until they begin to brown, about 12 - 14 minutes, or you could fry them up in a pan with a bit of oil.
• 12. PLATE/PRESENT
• 13. Mix the dressing together, if using, and spread it over the burger before serving. Enjoy.
• 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

VEGAN/VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS

• Place black beans in a bowl and mash to a smooth consistency.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cook onion in a skillet over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add water if needed to prevent sticking. Transfer to the bowl with the black beans.
• Stir cooked rice, corn, cornmeal, salsa, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder into the bean mixture. Mix together, using clean hands, until evenly blended. Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized balls; form balls into patties. Transfer patties to the baking sheet; refrigerate until ready to bake.

Remove vegetables with slotted spoon. If any liquid remains, cook uncovered until thickened; add to vegetables and allow to cool.
• After everything has cooled, combine vegetables, tofu, egg, and rice in a food processor until blended (I use a potato masher since I do not have a food processor). Transfer to large bow and mix in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to form a consistency which will allow patties to be formed. Season with salt and pepper.
• Shape mixture into 3 inch patties (1/2 an inch thick), add extra bread crumbs if needed to hod patties together.
• Prepare grill or preheat broiler. I put them on a pam-sprayed health grill for about 4-6 minutes, or until both sides are lightly browned. They can also be broiled on a lightly greased broiler pan or cookie sheet for about 6-8 minutes per side. Broil about 3-5 inches from the heat.

MUSHROOM BURGERS VEGETARIAN
