"Northstar" Veggie Burger
Northstar Veggie Burgers. They're perfect. Sheer perfection. My mouth drools just thinking about them. I've been on a quest to make them at home and this is the closest I've come. To make them really legit you could even make them bigger than the size I did. I did these inside on a well oiled griddle pan because nobody likes it when their burgers fall down into the black abyss of the outdoor grill. The extras freeze perfectly and reheat with 1 minute in the microwave. I froze mine in an old yogurt tub separating each burg with a little piece of parchment paper.
-Heaping 1 cup of brown rice cooked with 2 cups water, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup raising, 1 tbs fresh rosemary. Cook until rice is tender
-2 cups sliced beets roasted with skins on
-1 drained can of black beans
-1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 Tbs ground cumin
-1 Tbs garlic powder
-1 tsp red pepper flakes
-Salt and pepper
-2 large eggs
Combine all ingredients well with potato masher or a food processor. Let sit in the fridge for a few hours. Scoop into whatever shape you prefer, I used a biscuit cutter as a mold to make them uniform in size. Cook on a pan or indoor griddle until well browned on each side. This recipes makes 14 ish good sized veggies burgers. I froze the extras in tupperware separated with parchment so they didn't stick to one another!
