Veggie Burgers
You must try these! They are easy to make, absolutely delicious, and so good for you! They have been voted Best Burger at the Hagerott's!
2 Tb finely chopped carrot (I just use the veggie peeler)
2 Tb finely chopped red pepper
2 Tb frozen whole-kernel corn
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup cooked beans
1 egg yolk
1 Tb fine dry bread crumbs
Olive oil
6 small whole-grain buns
Lettuce
Tomato slices
¼ c. plain yogurt
2 tsp. honey mustard
1. Place carrots red pepper, and corn in microwave-safe bowl and add 1 Tb. water. Cover and microwave 2 minutes or until veggies are tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Place beans and rice in a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in cooked veggies and egg yolk. With wet hangs shape well-rounded tablespoons of mixture into balls, then roll in bread crumbs to coat. Flatten into patties.
3. Heat oil in skillet on Medium. Cook patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve in buns with lettuce tomato, and a dip made of stirred yogurt and honey mustard. Serves 6.
Here are a few suggestions I have:
*Instead of using frozen corn I used a frozen veggie mix. It had corn, carrots, peas, and lima beans. Then you don’t have to chop a carrot and you get more veggies!
* NEVER leave out the red pepper is gives incredible flavor! I chop the whole red pepper at once and put the remaining in the freezer for next time.
* We do not have plain yogurt on hand so we make our sauce out of mayo and honey mustard. The left over sauce is great on any sandwich!
* Instead of using buns use pitas.
* Add avocado to the mix!
*Use Panko for the bread crumbs!
