Vegetarian Essentials: Super Awesome Burgers image

As a caterer you meet all kinds of people with all kinds of tastes. One of those that can be difficult in a mixed situation are vegetarians. I have worked on meatless recipes for years. Some are hits and some are misses. This one is a total hit. So-much-so, that I keep a bunch frozen in the walk-in, and take one out now-and-then,...

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE BURGERS
3 c cooked white or brown rice, i prefer white
15 oz baked beans, 1 can
4 c sunflower seeds, raw
1 c chopped parsley
1 medium fresh carrot, grated
2 tsp salt, kosher variety
1 tsp dehydrated onions, ground to a powder, or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 Tbsp sweet paprika
THE TOPPING (PER BURGER)
1 Tbsp vegetarian mayonnaise
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 tsp creamy brown mustard, like grey poupon
1 tsp hot sauce, i prefer frank's

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.

  • 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.

These burgers were a bit dry, but they were still flavorful. I think I will add some more moisture next time I make them.
