Southwestern Pinto Bean And Veggie Burgers With Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts, shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. 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.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Grill the patties until marked, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with onion and sprouts.

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.

Steps:

• Place pinto beans into a pot and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain beans and add fresh water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer until beans are soft, 40 to 45 minutes.
• While beans are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef with seasoned salt in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, translucent, and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes more. Add cumin, dried cilantro, and Mexican oregano and saute for 1 minute more.
• Drain beans. Mix with browned beef, onion mixture, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, 1 cup water, and tomato paste in a heavy stockpot. Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes, adding more water as needed to achieve desired consistency for the stew.
• Add green onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Serve hot.

Steps:

• For the burgers: Combine the kale, parsley, peas, scallions, garlic, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds pepper in a food processor. Process until a paste forms and is almost smooth. Add the chickpeas and eggs and pulse until the chickpeas are mostly ground but still a little chunky. Remove to a medium bowl and stir in the panko and Parmesan to make a smooth mixture that holds together. Form into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick, and put on a plate. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the patties and cook until the bottoms are crisp and golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and crisp the second side, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season lightly with salt.
• For the assembly: Assemble the burgers while the patties are still hot. Mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the bottom buns. Put a cabbage leaf (cut to fit if needed) curved up towards the back of each bun and fit a few kale leaves in the curve. Top each with a veggie patty to prop up the kale and cabbage (these can be monster feathers, fur or even the collar of a cape, depending on your monster's specific vibe). Close with the top buns. Cut long spiky fangs from the baby bell peppers and stick onto the burgers (the avocado mash will act as glue).
• Use a toothpick to burrow 2 small holes on each top bun for the horns/ears then 1 more hole toward the front of the bun for the nose. Gently push a cornichon into each hole. Use a very small round cutter to cut out 8 rounds from the cheese. Stick 2 rounds onto each bun for eyes, securing with the frilly toothpicks. Spear the olive halves, cut-side in, onto the toothpicks for eyeballs.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add shallot and cook until soft, 3 minutes.
• Pulse shallot, almonds, beans, panko, 1/4 cup roasted peppers, and egg in a food processor until just combined. Season with salt and pepper, fold in feta, and form into four 3 1/2-inch patties.
• Wipe skillet clean; heat remaining oil over medium-high. Cook patties, flipping once, 8 minutes.
• Mix yogurt and remaining 1/4 cup peppers. Spread on burgers and serve, with sprouts, avocado, lemon, and almonds.
