Beautiful Broccoli Burgers Recipes

BROCCOLI BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor pulse the fresh broccoli, onion and garlic. Don't over process but should be chopped well. If you are using frozen broccoli make sure to defrost and squeeze out all the excess water. If you are using a combination of both process the onion and fresh broccoli with the garlic first and then add the frozen broccoli. Just pulse a few times after you've added the frozen broccoli.
• In a large bowl, combine the broccoli mixture,egg, cheese, flour and seasonings.
• Form the mixture into 1/2 inch thick patties that are about 4 inches wide. You should get about six burgers from this recipe.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the burgers.
• Cook the burgers for about eight minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
• Transfer to a large paper towel lined plate. Serve warm.

MOLLIE KATZEN-INSPIRED POTATO AND BROCCOLI BURGERS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Place broccoli in a strainer and dip into the boiling water for 1 minute, then remove. Rinse with cold water and shake out excess, then drain on paper towels.
• Steam potatoes over 1 inch of boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mash with a fork. The skins will break up in the mash. Stir in broccoli and remaining ingredients except the ground walnuts and oil. Season generously with salt, combine well, taste and adjust seasonings.
• Place ground walnuts in a wide bowl. Scoop out about 1/3 cup of burger mixture and form into a ball (you can moisten your hands to prevent sticking). Roll in the walnuts, then gently flatten into a patty. Place on a plate or sheet pan and continue to shape all of the patties. Refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.
• When you're ready to cook, place a rack over a sheet pan. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch, heavy nonstick frying pan over high heat. Swirl pan to coat with the hot oil. Lower heat to medium. Place 4 to 5 patties in the pan (do not crowd), and cook until well browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown for about 4 more minutes. Remove to the rack. Heat remaining oil in the pan and cook remaining patties. Keep patties warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Serve with a salad and your choice of toppings, such as the usual (ketchup, mustard, relish), or yogurt raita, garlic yogurt, or chutney.
