Shredded Vegetable Burgers With Lime Yogurt Sauce Recipes

SHREDDED-VEGETABLE BURGERS WITH LIME-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate sauce, covered, until ready to use.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and ginger; cook 3 seconds more. Add carrot, beets, and zucchini; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Pulse rice, chickpeas, and half of the vegetable mixture in a food processor until it forms a coarse paste. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in remaining vegetable mixture and the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
• Shape into 6 oval patties (about 4 inches long). Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 30 minutes (or up to 3 hours).
• Preheat grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with oil. Grill burgers, flipping once, until charred and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Grill bread, flipping once, until softened and lightly charred. Serve burgers on bread; top with tomato and reserved yogurt sauce. Garnish with parsley.

CURRY-SPICED VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lime juice. Let sit 15 minutes.
• In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, scallions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until a chunky paste forms. In a large bowl, stir together chickpea mixture, rice, carrot, breadcrumbs, cilantro, and 2 tablespoons yogurt mixture. Divide into 4 patties. (To freeze, wrap each patty in plastic and freeze, up to 2 weeks. Let thaw before cooking.)
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook patties until lightly golden and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with remaining yogurt sauce and cilantro leaves.
