Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked short-grain white rice
  • 12 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups sliced onions
  • 1/2 cup Country Crock Plant-Based Butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Vegan hamburger buns
  • Olive oil (for handling the burger mixture)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the short-grain white rice according to package instructions. Set aside to cool.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt a portion of the Country Crock Plant-Based Butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and half of the minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and softened. Season with garlic salt for added flavor.
  3. Prepare the Black Bean Patty: Drain and rinse the black beans, then pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms and black beans to an air fryer basket or baking sheet. Air fry at 400°F for 3 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  4. Make the Burger Mixture: In a blender, combine the cooked rice, dried mushrooms, black beans, oats, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky. The mixture should be sticky.
  5. Let the Mixture Rest: Allow the burger mixture to rest for 20 minutes to firm up and allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet used for mushrooms, sauté the sliced onions in a generous amount of Country Crock Plant-Based Butter over medium heat until caramelized and tender. Set aside.
  7. Form and Fry the Burgers: Use olive oil to prevent sticking, then form thin burger patties with the burger mixture. Fry the patties in the remaining Country Crock Plant-Based Butter and minced garlic until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  8. Add Cheese and Toast Buns: Place a slice of your favorite vegan cheese on each burger patty. Butter the top bun of each hamburger bun with Country Crock Plant-Based Butter. Toast both sides of the buns in the skillet until golden brown.
  9. Assemble the Burgers: Place each burger patty on a toasted bottom bun. Top with the caramelized onions and the buttered top bun.
  10. Serve: Serve the indulgent plant-based butter burgers hot and enjoy the rich, savory flavors with every bite.

Introduction: Welcome to the ultimate indulgence in plant-based dining with our meticulously crafted Plant-Based Butter Burger. This recipe marries the rich, savory flavors of a classic burger with the goodness of plant-based ingredients. Created with precision and passion, each component of this burger is carefully selected and prepared to offer a burst of flavor and satisfaction with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole grain burger buns
  • Vegan butter for spreading
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced red onion

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken and form a gel-like consistency, creating a flax “egg”.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
  4. Add the cooked quinoa, chopped mushrooms, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and the prepared flax “egg” to the bowl with the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.
  5. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
  6. Place the burger patties onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are firm and golden brown.
  7. While the patties are baking, lightly toast the whole grain burger buns.
  8. Once the patties are cooked, assemble your burgers by spreading a generous amount of vegan butter on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
  9. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the buttered bun, followed by a burger patty.
  10. Top each patty with sliced tomatoes and red onion, then cover with the top half of the toasted bun.
  11. Serve your Plant-Based Butter Burgers immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!
