Mushroom And Beet Black Bean Burger 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.

SMOKY BLACK BEAN BEET BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add olive oil.
• 2. Once hot, add the onion and sauté, seasoning with a pinch each salt and pepper.
• 3. When the onions are soft (about 5 minutes) turn up the heat to medium and add the mushrooms. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms and onions are slightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• 4. Remove from heat and add black beans and mash. You're looking for a rough mash, so you can leave a bit of texture if you want.
• 5. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the quinoa, beets, spices and stir.
• 6. Lastly, add the breadcrumbs a little at a time until the mixture is able enough to form into patties. Set in the fridge to chill while your oven pre-heats to 375 degrees.
• 7. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray or olive oil. Form mixture into roughly 8-9 patties.
• 8. Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil. Bake at 375 for a total of 30-45 minutes, gently flipping at the halfway mark. Cook longer to dry them out even more and achieve more crisp, but it's not necessary.
• 9. Serve on small buns or atop mixed greens with desired toppings.

BLACK BEAN AND MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Get your grill going with a medium-hot fire.
• Lightly oil a vegetable grill rack and put it in place.
• Saute your onions in a skillet on the stove, cooking until they are golden brown - about 4 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic and cumin. Cook until the mushrooms have released their juices - about 5 minutes.
• Spoon the mixture into the food processor. Add the beans and cilantro and process briefly - you want it mixed but still chunky.
• Put this mixture into a bowl and stir in the goat cheese if you are using it. Also add the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
• Form into patties.
• Brush both sides of the patties with oil or spray with Pam to insure they don't stick to the grill.
• Grill until crisp and heated through, about 5 minutes per side.
• Serve. Salsa makes a great condiment for these burgers!
