Dijon And Wild Rice Chicken Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
• In large bowl, mix all burger ingredients except rolls. Shape mixture into 6 oval patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
• Grill patties uncovered over medium heat 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center and thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F. Add rolls, cut sides down, for last 4 minutes of grilling until toasted.
• Serve burgers on rolls. Top with sauce.

Steps:

• Drain most or all of the can liquid from beans in a strainer and add kidney beans and black beans together in a blender. Mash on a high setting, pulsing to keep the mixture moving and circulating toward the blade. Let the bean mixture blend until there are only small amounts of whole or chopped beans in a mostly mashed medium.
• Pour bean mixture into a large mixing bowl and beat in 2 large eggs. Add to this any spices, vegetables, or seasonings preferred. Garlic powder, salt, pepper, fresh lime juice, and a generous amount of chili powder are all very recommended. Corn could also be added at this point along with salsa or a similarly diced mixture. Add no more than 1 to 2 cups of salsa to prevent bean mixture from becoming too thin.
• Add 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise and beat until fully mixed. Mayonnaise can be omitted as it is only included as extra flavor and fat.
• Add in 1 cup of cooked Brown Rice- may use up to 2 cups if desired. Blend completely into bean mixture.
• Slowly stir in package of bread crumbs; mixture will visibly thicken into a heavy paste when all bread crumbs are absorbed.
• The mixture should be very bulky by this point and easily manipulated and rolled with the hands. If the mixture is too runny, add more bread crumbs. Grab handfuls of the bean mixture and press into patties of a medium thickness.
• Servings vary depending on size of burgers- make more or make less- recommended that burgers not be too thick.
• Fry bean burgers on a skillet or frying pan until crust browns slightly. Serve on buns and garnish with traditional burger garnishments.
• These bean burgers freeze extremely well, store in airtight container. Before cooking frozen burgers defrost in microwave similarly to ground beef.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mash beans with a fork; add the rice, onion, egg, and 2 tablespoons salsa; mix well.
• Season if needed with salt and pepper.
• Drop by 1/2 cupfuls into a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray.
• Flatten to 1/2-inch thickness; cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until firm and browned.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining salsa; on bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, burger, sour cream mixture and slice of cheese; cover with top bun.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the rice, onion, mushrooms, green pepper, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well. Shape into six patties. Grill or broil until no longer pink. Serve on buns.

Steps:

• Prepare Dilled Dijon Sauce by combining first three ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until time to serve.
• Mix remaining ingredients (except buns!) and shape into 6 patties.
• Grill patties uncovered, 4 to 6 inches from heat for 14 to 16 minutes. Turn once and grill until no longer pink in the middle.
• Serve burgers on buns with Dilled Dijon Sauce.
