Four
Seasons Vegetable Burgers
This recipe serves: 4
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup coarsely grated turnips
1/2 cup coarsely grated zucchini
1/4 cup coarsely grated beets
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup instant rolled oats, soaked in 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes
then drained
3/4 cup mashed potatoes
1/4 cup cooked rice
1/2 tablespoon minced, fresh dill, tarragon or basil
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the grated
vegetables, garlic and cumin and cook over medium heat until the
vegetables are tender and the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15
minutes. Do not let the vegetables brown. Remove the pan from
the heat and let cool.
- Press the water out of the oats. Stir the oats into the vegetable
mixture with the remaining ingredients. Add the salt and pepper
to taste.
- With wet hands form the mixture into 4 thick burgers. Arrange
the burgers on a plate spread with plastic wrap and chill for
at least 3 hours.
- Pre-heat the grill.
- Spray the grill grate with non-stick cooking spray and grill
the burgers over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.
Alternatively, arrange the burgers on an oiled, non-stick baking
sheet, lightly spray the tops with oil and broil. To sauté,
add a teaspoon or 2 of oil to a non-stick skillet. Cook the burgers
over medium heat until crusty. Whichever method you use, you'll
need about 4 to 6 minutes per side cooking time. Turn the burgers
with a spatula as gently as you can.
- Serve the burgers on rolls with onions, tomatoes, lettuce and
your favorite
