This delicious veggie burger is a healthy and savory choice for a summer entrée. Ingredients:
1 large garlic clove, chopped |
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 large onion, chopped (about 3 cups) |
1 cup canned lentils, rinsed and drained |
3/4 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs |
1 large egg, whisked |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal |
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup) |
6 whole-grain buns |
8 tomato slices (optional) |
fresh basil leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. Pulse first 3 ingredients in food processor until finely chopped.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a skillet; turn down to medium, and cook onion, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Add mushroom mixture, and cook, stirring, about 2-3 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat, and let cool.
3. Stir cooled mushroom mixture into lentils, and combine with next 3 ingredients (through salt) until well-combined. Form mixture into 6 patties (about 1/2 cup each). Put cornmeal on a shallow plate, and coat burgers evenly.
4. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook burgers about 3 minutes or until golden brown on underside. Flip burgers, and top with cheese. Cook about 3 minutes more or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve burgers on buns topped with tomato and basil, if desired.
