Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 4 extra-large burgers
Ingredients
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli (florets and stems)
  • 2 cups green peas, thawed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • splash olive oil
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 TBS Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp each: smoked paprika, cumin, and steak seasoning
  • ¼ tsp each: salt and black pepper
  • 2 TBS whole wheat flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1-2 TBS hot sauce
  • 4 large whole wheat buns
  • Lettuce and red onion for serving
Instructions
  1. Steam broccoli in the microwave until it starts turning bright green, about 1 minute.
  2. Combine broccoli and peas in a food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not mushy (you will want some texture to the pieces).
  3. In a skillet, saute the onion is a splash of olive oil until softened and just staring to brown, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in white wine vinegar.
  4. In a bowl combine pulsed green veggies, sauted onion, bread crumbs, rice, garlic, mozzarella, Dijon, smoked paprika, cumin, steak seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Mix in four and egg and form the mixture into 4 large patties (you could also make 5 small patties). The mixture is soft so work carefully and gently place them in a large skillet. 2 large patties or 3 small patties fit well in a 10 inch skillet.
  6. Cook over medium heat in a preheated skillet for 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and starting to firm. Patties will firm up a little more as they cool.
  7. Stir together mayo and hot sauce to make a spicy mayo (it complements the sweet peas very well).
  8. Serve on toasted buns with red onion, lettuce, and spicy mayo.
