Grilled Mushroom Burgers With White Bean Puree Recipes

GRILLED MUSHROOM BURGER WITH WHITE-BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• Heat grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• In a food processor or blender, combine 1/4 of garlic (about 1/2 teaspoon), 1 tablespoon thyme, beans and 1 teaspoon oil: process to form a smooth and spreadable paste. If mixture it too thick, add 1 teaspoon water. Season with pepper and pulse to combine. Set aside.
• Combine remaining garlic, tablespoon thyme, and oil on a plate or baking pan. Gently toss musroom caps in the mixture. Season with pepper and drizzle with vinegar. Lightly coat onion slices with cooking spray; grill until lightly charred on both sides. Transfer onions to a clean plate; keep warm.
• Grill mushrooms stem side up until browned and juices have begun to collect in centers, about 5 minutes. Flip mushrooms, and continue cooking until center is tender, about 4 minutes more.
• Split hamburger buns in half and place cut side down on grill; cook until warm and toasted. Spread 1/4 cup puree on bottom half of each bun, top with two grilled musroom caps. Layer each with sliced cheese, grilled onions, and a small handful of arugula. Top each with matching roll halves, and serve.
• NOTES
• To clean mushroom caps, wipe with a damp paper towel; do not rinse or soak them because they will remain soggy even after cooking.

GRILLED MUSHROOM BURGERS WITH WHITE BEAN SPREAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 6 to 8 seconds). In a food processor, puree one-quarter of the garlic (about 1/2 teaspoon), 1 tablespoon thyme, the cannellini beans, and 1 teaspoon oil until smooth. If mixture is too thick to spread, add a bit of water. Season with pepper, and pulse to combine.
• Combine the remaining garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons oil in a shallow dish. Place the mushroom caps in the garlic mixture, and turn to coat. Season with pepper; drizzle with vinegar.
• Place onion slices on a plate, and lightly coat each side with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Grill the onions until lightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the onions, and continue grilling until tender and charred on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer onions to a clean plate; cover to keep warm.
• Working in batches if necessary, place mushrooms on the grill, stem side up. Grill until browned on the first side and juices have begun to collect in the centers, about 5 minutes. Flip mushrooms, and continue cooking until stem side of each cap is browned and center is tender, about 4 minutes more.
• Split hamburger buns, and place cut side down on the grill; cook just until warm and toasted. Spread 1/4 cup bean puree on the bottom half of each bun, and top with 2 grilled mushroom caps. Layer each with sliced cheese, grilled onions, and a small handful of arugula. Top with remaining roll halves, and serve.
