Where's the Beef?!! Burgers
I had never made a veggie burger before. I've had big portabella burgers before and loved them so I wanted to try something new this time around.
Here we have an eggplant parmesan burger and a black bean portabella burger. Let's start with the eggplant.
Eggplant patties:
1 medium size eggplant
French bread
Mozzarella cheese
1 can of northern beans
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasonings
1/2 tsp dried basil
Sauce:
1 28oz can San Marzano tomatos
Fresh basil
1/4 diced onion
2 cloves garlic minced
Olive oil
First I started the sauce up.
Get your oil to med high heat and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the garlic and cook until you smell it. Then dump in the tomatos and stir and mash them up. Tear up some fresh basil and add it and then bring to a boil. Once it's bubbling lower to a simmer for at least a few hours. Add a little tomato paste to thicken it up.
Now the patties. Peal the skin off and slice into 1" thick rounds. Sprinkle salt on both sides and place in a strainer in a bowl. Leave for about ten minutes to extract the bitterness then rinse off. Dice the rounds into 1" chunks and place into tin foil with a couple table spoons of water. Bake at 400F for 10-15 mins. Once done blend the chunks with the beans and the egg.
Once mixed add into a bowl with the bread crumbs and the seasonings and mix well. Once mixed place some parchment paper on a sheet (I had to oil; no paper
) and form the patties and put on the sheet. Bake at 375F for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway.
Instead of a bun I garlic buttered some French bread and used that for a bun. Then place the cooked patty on the bun, cover with a piece of mozzarella cheese, top with sauce, then dress with fresh basil and some pepperonchini peppers.
Now for the bean/mushroom.
Patties:
2 cups portabellas diced finely
2 cups black beans
1 cup minced broccoli
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 eggs
1/2 cup panko
1 tbs Montreal steak seasoning
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs garlic
3/4 cup parmesean cheese
To start mash one cup of the beans in a large bowl. Then add the other cup of beans, mushrooms, broccoli, garlic, wocestershire sauce, and the seasoning. Mix until everything is evenly coated. Then add the 3 eggs (beaten), cheese, panko, and mix well.
Get a skillet heated up with some oil and get it to where it's sizzling then form some patties and put them in the skillet.
Cook them for about 5 minutes on each side. There should be a slight crust formed.
I used an onion bun and toasted it under the broiler. I topped the patty with gruyere cheese, southwest hummus, and some pickled jalapeños. Really wish I had more jalapeños but the jar was empty after the few I grabbed out.
I really enjoyed these burgers. The bean/mushroom was my favorite of the 2 for sure. If I were going to make these again I would probably fry the eggplant patties instead of baking them to get some more crunch. The garlic bread was definitely the way to go though. I also has some extra sauce to dip the burger in as I ate it.
The hummus and jalapeños rocked on the bean/mushroom burger. Onion bun was a winner all toasted up too.
