PRESENTATION

This vegetable burger takes the idea of a burger and flips it into something totally different—no meat, just a mix of tender veggies and herbs. Honestly, while it’s not traditionally Italian, many folks love putting their own spin on it using ingredients like broccoli, baby spinach, parsley and a dash of curry for a little kick. Really good stuff. The combo gives each bite a moist texture and layers of flavor you don’t always expect from a veggie burger. Perfect for a fast lunch or light dinner. It works great stuffed into a bun or with a pile of crispy salad or cool yogurt sauce. And you know what? Kids love these burgers too—especially loaded with tomato slices, lettuce and your favorite sauces. Suddenly, greens are fun.

There's a ton of freedom here since you can swap in whatever veggies you have hanging around—really smart when you want a vegetarian burger that doesn’t waste anything in the fridge. Some folks use the recipe as an excuse to play with new spices or whatever’s in season, so every batch can be a little different. Which is great. Unlike heavy beef patties, these veggie burgers feel light but still fill you up, and the touch of curry adds a warm, slightly tangy note that sticks with you. For sure. If you're looking for a healthy burger alternative or just wanting a break from the usual stuff, this is a plant-based burger that really really tastes good and has a golden look once cooked. Seriously good. It's the kind of food that fits right into a busy week but also feels a bit special, especially when you get creative with sides and sauces.

Thing is, however you serve it, this vegetable burger is all about making veggies the star of the show and having some fun in the kitchen while you’re at it. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to introduce more plant-based meals into your routine without sacrificing flavor. Cannot go wrong.

How to prepare Vegetable Burger

To prepare the vegetable burgers, first peel the carrots 1 and cut them into strips and then into cubes about 1/4 inch (5-7 mm) 2. Separate the broccoli florets 3.

Remove the outer parts of the stalk 4 and cut it into strips and then into cubes about 1/4 inch (5-7 mm) 5. In a non-stick skillet, pour a drizzle of oil and add the garlic 6.

Add the tomato paste 7 and let it flavor for a few minutes. Then add the carrots 8, and broccoli 9.

Then add the curry 10, season with salt 11, and cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Add the corn 12.

Remove the garlic 13 and add the spinach 14. Once they have wilted, let them cook for another 5 minutes 15.

Transfer half of the vegetables to a food processor 16 and blend until smooth 17. Then transfer it to a bowl and add the remaining vegetables 18.

Flavor with parsley 19, then add the eggs 20 and mix. Finally, add the breadcrumbs 21.

Mix again until you get a shapeable mixture 22. Flour a tray where you intend to shape your burgers. With slightly wet or oiled hands, take 3 oz (90 g) of the mixture and form a large meatball 23. Place it inside a 3-inch (8 cm) diameter ring mold and press it to form a patty 34, or you can shape them by hand.

Turn it over to flour the other side as well 25. In the end, you should get 6 burgers 26. In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of oil and then cook the burgers for 2-3 minutes per side, turning them gently 27.

Once cooked, place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil 28 and season with a pinch of salt 29. Your vegetable burgers are ready to be enjoyed 30: serve them, for example, with arugula and a yogurt sauce.

Storage

The vegetable burgers can be stored in the refrigerator, in a closed container, for 2-3 days. Once cooked, you can also freeze them.

Advice

You can vary the vegetables by always using those in season; you can also enrich the mixture with grated cheese. If you want a more protein-rich mixture, you can add cooked legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, or beans.
