CARAMELIZED ONION AND PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, add black beans, mushrooms, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, water, lemon juice, chia seeds, onion powder, black pepper, salt and harissa. Pulse until mixture is a thick paste; chunks are OK.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs; add mushroom and bean mixture. Then add breadcrumbs, cheese and caramelized onions. Mix well.
• In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once oil starts to simmer, 1-2 minutes, use dampened hands (the mixture will stick to you if you don't) and scoop a ½cup of mixture into the palm of your hand. Gently shape into a burger, all the while pressing together. The mixture should hold a burger shape. If it doesn't, add a tablespoon more of breadcrumbs.
• Place in frying pan, and cook 3-5 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and a crust has formed on each side.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGER WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the white wine, dijon mustard, pepper, and garlic in a bowl or pyrex large enough the fit all of the portobello mushrooms.
• Add the portobellos to the marinade and swish around to ensure they are evenly coated. At this point you can allow to marinate overnight or just rest for a few minutes depending on how much time you're working with.
• Meanwhile thinly slice the onions and bring a nonstick pan to medium heat with avocado oil. Add the onions and stir every so often, cooking until caramelized (around 30-40 minutes).
• Heat a large cast iron pan on medium-high heat with a bit of avocado oil and add the portobellos to the pan. Let cook for around 3-5 minutes on each side until golden.
• Add any leftover marinade to the pan and allow the mushrooms to keep cooking. After a minute or two add some more white wine or water to deglaze the pan. Cover and cook gill side down for 5 more minutes or until collapsed.
• To serve, toast your buns and add chipotle aioli to both sides. Top with the portobello mushroom, arugula, tomato, and caramelized onions. (If you want to simplify, you can skip the chipotle aioli and add dijon mustard to your buns).

PIMENTO CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Put the onions in a medium bowl and cover with ice water. Let the onions soak 10 minutes while you prep the patties and pimento sauce.
• Combine the beef with 2 tablespoons of the Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Form the meat mixture into eight 3-ounce patties. A quick and easy way to do this is to divide the mixture into 8 piles. Place a pile on top of a deli container lid. Place the top of a second deli container lid against the pile, press down evenly and firmly and watch as a perfect patty forms. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture. Make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to keep the patty from shrinking as it cooks. Set aside.
• Add the cream cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire to a medium bowl and stir until well combined. Drain the onions and pat dry.
• Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill until marked on the second side and slightly firm, about 2 minutes more for medium rare. Top each patty with 1 slice cheese, cover the grill and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and let rest for a few minutes. Toast the buns cut-side down, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Top each bottom bun with 2 burgers. Top the burgers with lettuce and the onions and spread the inside of the top buns with the pimento sauce. Top the burgers with the top buns and secure with a toothpick if desired. Serve with dill pickle and French fries.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the mushroom caps, smooth side up, in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, turning twice.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Brush grate with oil. Place mushrooms on the grill, reserving marinade for basting. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until tender. Brush with marinade frequently. Top with cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the mushroom caps in a wide bowl. Rub the marinade over the tops of the mushroom caps and place them on a baking sheet, rounded side up. Let sit for 15 minutes. Don't rinse the bowl, because you'll use any oil and vinegar residue to dress the spinach.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and blanch the spinach for 20 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water, drain and squeeze dry. Chop coarsely and toss in the bowl with the residue of the marinade. Set aside.
• Prepare a medium-hot grill, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or preheat an electric grill or panini pan on medium-high. Season the mushrooms as desired with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the hot grill or pan, rounded side down. Cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness, until lightly browned, and moist. Turn over and cook for another 6 minutes. Turn over for a minute to reheat the top, then flip back over and place the cheese on top. Continue to cook until the cheese melts. If using a panini grill, cook 6 to 8 minutes. Open the grill and place the cheese on top. Wait for it to melt. Place a mound of spinach on the bottom half of each hamburger bun and place the mushrooms, rounded side up, on top of the spinach. Top with your choice of condiments and serve.
