Veggie burger with seasonal vegetables and potatoes
This recipe is a great "empty fridge" idea. The veggie burger can be made by mixing eggplant and peppers, leeks and spinach, or fennel and pumpkin. The potatoes serve to "tie" the ingredients together and give some added substance to the burger. To make it, first blanch the potatoes and then mash them with a fork or potato masher. In the meantime, fry the onion and then add the seasonal vegetables you have chosen in a saucepan, all diced into very small cubes. Cook for about 10 minutes and then add the vegetables to the potatoes and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Mix all the ingredients well and if the mixture is too moist, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs. Form the burgers and cook them in a pan or on the grill.
Eggplant and smoked provola burger
The smoked eggplant and provola veggie burger is an explosion of taste! To make it, just dice the eggplant into small pieces and sauté in a pan with a drizzle of oil. In a large bowl, mix the eggplant with torn bread softened with water, parmesan cheese, basil and some small pieces of smoked provola cut into very small cubes. Bake in the oven just until the cheese melts and serve.
Soybean Burger
If you love particular flavors, try this recipe for fantastic soy burgers at home. First soak 150 g soybeans for about 10 minutes, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Boil 1 potato and 1 carrot and cut them into very small cubes. Sauté quickly in oil and then add them to the soybeans. Blend with salt, pepper and garlic powder (or freeze-dried garlic) if desired. Fry in a pan or on a grill for about 4 minutes per side.
Black bean burger
Among veggie burgers, the best versions are made with beans. To make them, canned beans are fine – just make sure to rinse them under running water before using them in the recipe. Chop a shallot (or an onion or green onion), 1 clove of garlic and parsley. Add these ingredients to the beans and blend for a smooth even mixture. Form the burgers and bread in breadcrumbs before frying for a crispy, golden texture your guests will love!
