Southwestern Pinto Bean And Veggie Burgers With Slaw Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN PINTO BEAN BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• To prepare burgers, combine the first 9 ingredients in a large bowl or food processor. If you use a food processor, you don't have to dice the onion or mince the jalapeno pepper ahead of time. (This saves on cutting time if you have a good food processor). Transfer to a large bowl, and mix in the egg.
• Put pinto beans and corn in the food processor, and then add to the mixture in the bowl. Alternatively, you can add the pinto beans/corn to the bowl and partially mash with a fork or potato masher.
• Divide bean mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 3 1/2-inch patty, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties to pan, and cook 5 minutes on each side. Reduce to medium heat, cook an additional 5 minutes (flipping the burger patty once in between) to get a nice caramelized crust. Transfer burgers to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Now it's time for assembly! Place patties on bottom halves of buns; top each patty with 1-2 tbsp ketchup or bbq sauce, red onion slices, roma tomatoes, baby spinach leaves, and top half of bun.

INSTANT POT LENTIL-VEGGIE BURGERS WITH SLAW

Steps:

• Add 1 3/4 cups water to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®, then stir in the lentils, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few good grinds of pepper. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. The lentils should be tender but not mushy. If there is any liquid remaining, drain the lentils in a fine-mesh sieve and discard the liquid.
• Meanwhile, place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to broil. Toss the onion, sweet potato, mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of the oil, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and browned in spots, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a food processor along with the lentils and oats. , Reserve the baking sheet. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses.
• Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon oil on the reserved baking sheet. Working on the baking sheet, form the lentil mixture into 4 large patties (each about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick). Refrigerate until chilled through, about 30 minutes.
• Using tongs, toss the coleslaw mix with the mayonnaise, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until combined; set aside.
• Broil the lentil-veggie burgers until they develop a nice crust and are charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Use a sturdy metal spatula to flip the burgers, then return to the broiler to lightly char the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Place a burger on each of the bottom bun halves, then top with the slaw, dividing evenly, and sandwich with the top bun halves.

SALMON BURGERS WITH GREEN APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Toss the sliced onion, cabbage, rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Mix the salmon with the diced onion, eggs, panko, 1/4 cup dill, 2 tablespoons crème fraîche, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Mix 1/4 cup creme fraiche with the remaining 1 tablespoon dill in a small bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the salmon patties and cook until browned and firm, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Add the apple to the cabbage mixture. Fold in the remaining 1/4 cup creme fraiche and 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon burgers on the buns; top with the dill creme fraiche. Serve with the slaw.

During the last few minutes of cooking, baste each burger with 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce.
• To assemble, spread about 1 tablespoon of the Sriracha lime mayo on each bun bottom and top. Place the patties on the bun bottoms, top with about 1/3 cup of the slaw, add the bun top and enjoy! These burgers are great served with sweet potato fries or sweet potato chips.

Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and paprika and cook, tossing to coat, until reduced, about 10 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, microwave the sweet potato until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then peel and transfer to a large bowl. Add the quinoa and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Beat in the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form into four 4-inch-wide patties and freeze until firm, 20 minutes.
