Red cabbage slaw goes nicely with these burgers, either as a side or served directly on the burgers, as does julienned cabbage that's been tossed in a bit of rice vinegar and salt.

Time 45m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch scallions, including 1 inch of the dark green part, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1 serrano chili pepper, finely chopped (with the seeds if you prefer more heat)
4 cups grated carrots (about 8 medium)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons natural, unsweetened peanut butter
Juice of ½ lime
¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
½ cup toasted bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan that has a lid. When hot, add the scallions and cook just until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and serrano pepper and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, salt, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are soft but not mushy.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, peanut butter, and lime juice. Stir in the carrot mixture and the cilantro. Fold in the bread crumbs. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the crumbs to absorb some liquid. Adjust seasonings. Shape into 4 patties.
  • In an oven-safe skillet or nonstick sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the patties and brown 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the burgers are firm and cooked through.

Yield 1 burger

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Mix 1/4 cup lime juice and 1 tablespoon each fish sauce and olive oil; season with salt and sugar. Toss half of the dressing with shaved carrots, sliced red onion and cilantro. Lightly mix 6 ounces ground pork with a big pinch of kosher salt. Form into a ball, then shape into a 3/4-inch-thick patty; make an indentation in the center. Preheat a grill to high; brush the grates and burger with canola oil. Season the patty with salt and grill about 4 minutes per side, basting with the remaining dressing. Serve on a roll with mayonnaise, chili sauce and the slaw.

Tips:

  • To make sure the burgers hold together well, be sure to grate the carrots finely and squeeze out any excess moisture before mixing them with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or even crushed crackers.
  • Feel free to add other spices or herbs to the burger mixture, such as cumin, coriander, or chili powder.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
  • If you are making the burgers ahead of time, be sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Thai carrot burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Serve them with your favorite toppings and sides for a complete meal.
