This meticulously crafted burger features a hearty patty made from a blend of black beans, quinoa, and roasted vegetables, delivering a protein-packed and fiber-rich foundation. The patty is perfectly complemented by a zesty avocado crema, adding a creamy and tangy touch.

Trust us; this veggie burger is a culinary masterpiece that will redefine your perception of meatless burgers.
The journey to creating this extraordinary veggie burger begins with the patty. A combination of black beans, quinoa, and a medley of roasted vegetables, including zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers, forms the base of this hearty patty. Seasoned to perfection with a blend of spices, the patty is pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The result is a patty that bursts with flavor and holds its own against any traditional beef burger.
The avocado crema is the perfect accompaniment to the veggie patty. Creamy avocados, tangy lime juice, and a hint of cilantro come together to create a luscious spread that adds a refreshing contrast to the savory patty. The smoky roasted red pepper sauce adds another layer of complexity to the burger. Roasted red peppers, blended with a touch of chipotle peppers, create a smoky and slightly spicy sauce that complements the patty beautifully.
Caramelized onions, with their sweet and slightly charred flavor, add a delightful dimension to the burger. Slowly cooked until golden brown, these onions bring a hint of sweetness that balances the spiciness of the roasted red pepper sauce. Finally, peppery arugula adds a refreshing touch to the burger. Its slightly bitter flavor cuts through the richness of the patty and sauces, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
In addition to the main veggie burger recipe, this article also includes a variation using a portobello mushroom patty. This alternative patty is marinated in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs, then grilled until tender. The portobello patty offers a meaty texture and a rich, earthy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the avocado crema, roasted red pepper sauce, caramelized onions, and arugula.
Elevate your next meatless meal with Bobby Flay's Veggie Burger. Its symphony of flavors and textures will leave you amazed. Whether you choose the black bean and quinoa patty or the portobello mushroom patty, you're in for a culinary treat.

Steps:
- Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
- IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
- IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
- IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
- Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
- Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.
MIAMI BURGER
A trip to Miami wouldn't be complete without stopping for an authentic Cuban sandwich, hot off the press and stuffed with roasted pork, smoked ham, garlicky mayonnaise, tangy mustard, dill pickles, and oozing Swiss cheese. It's almost enough to make you miss your flight home. Turning this Cuban specialty into an American one isn't hard to do: just replace the roasted pork with a good old hamburger. Pressing the assembled burger not only yields a crispy toasted bun, but also ensures that all of the elements meld into one cohesive, mouthwatering sandwich.

DALLAS BURGER
Steps:
- For the BBQ sauce: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 1/2 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the ancho chile powder, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire, honey, molasses, chile de arbol and chipotle chile and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, an additional 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a medium bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Put about 1/3 cup of the BBQ sauce in a small bowl; reserve the remaining BBQ sauce in the medium bowl for spooning on top and serving.
- For the coleslaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, granulated sugar, celery salt, onion and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrot and stir to combine; season with more salt and pepper if needed. Let sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
- For the burger: Heat a grill, grill pan or cast-iron griddle to high heat. Brush the grill grates, pan or griddle with the oil.
- Whisk together the ancho, paprika, mustard powder, coriander, cumin, oregano, chile de arbol, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
- Form the meat into four 6-ounce burgers. Brush the burgers with oil, season with some of the rub and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill until the burgers are golden brown and slightly charred on the bottoms, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with the BBQ sauce from the small bowl (discard any unused sauce). Flip the burgers and continue to cook to medium doneness, about 4 minutes longer. Spoon a little of the reserved BBQ sauce on each burger and top each with a slice of cheese. If using a grill pan or griddle, fill a squeeze bottle with water and squirt the pan. Cover the burgers with a grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 -- until the cheese is melted
- Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and spoon some more of the BBQ sauce on top. Top with some of the coleslaw and a few pickles. Top with a few potato chips, if desired. Put the bun tops on and stick a 6-inch wooden skewer through each.

THE BOBBY FLAY BURGER
Back in 2003, before he was a fast-food impresario, Bobby Flay gave this recipe for a Cubano-style burger to Jonathan Reynolds of The Times. "The best burgers are made on an iron surface and cooked medium, so they're not too soft and you can get a crust," he said at the time. "If you press your burger bun like a Cubano, you get crisp on the outside, soft on the inside." He adorned the patty with two slices of Swiss, smoked ham and pickles, then slipped the package into the bun and pressed it hard on the grill. "We are not ready for micro greens on our national dish," he said. The result continues to amaze.
