Best Ever Beet And Bean Burgers Recipes

BEET & BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a medium pan on medium heat, add a drizzle of avocado oil. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, and season with a dash of garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown.
• In a food processor, add the grated beet, walnuts, black beans, lentils, cooked mushrooms, and oats. Pulse until lightly combined, there should still be some larger pieces of beans, lentils, walnuts and beets. Avoid over-processing, so that it doesn't become a paste with no texture. You may need to do this in two batches if your food processor is not large enough.
• Once combined, add the mixture to a large bowl. Add in the nutritional yeast, chives and parsley, remaining garlic powder, chipotle chili powder, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Lastly, add in the arrowroot flour and mix thoroughly. Arrowroot flour is a starch, so it will pull the mixture together, making it stick together in nice patties.

BEST-EVER BEET AND BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Bring a large amount of water to a boil. Add a handful of salt and the rice, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the rice until it's a little beyond al dente. You want it a little over-cooked, but still firm. This should take about 35-40 minutes. Drain the rice and set it aside. Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the onions are translucent and softened. Stir in the beets. Cover the pot and cook until the beets are completely tender, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan using the cider vinegar. Empty the black beans into a large bowl and use a fork to mash them up a bit. Add the cooked rice, the beet and onion mixture, the lemon juice, the olive oil, and all the spices. Stir to combine and then taste for seasonings. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once it tastes the way you like it, add the flour and stir until you see no more dry flour. Heat a cast-iron skillet over the highest heat. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil - the oil should completely coat the bottom of the pan. When you see the oil shimmer and it flows easily, the pan is ready. Using your hands, scoop up about a cup of the burger mixture and shape it into a patty between your palms. Set it in the pan, where it should begin to sizzle immediately. (If it doesn't sizzle, wait a minute or two before cooking the rest of the burgers.) Shape and add as many more patties as will fit in your pan. Once all the patties are in the pan, reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook the patties for 2 minutes, then flip them to the other side. You should see a nice crust on the cooked side. If they break apart a little when you flipped them, just reshape them with the spatula - they'll hold together once the second side is cooked. If you're adding cheese, lay a slice over the burgers now. Cook the second side for another 2 minutes.
