Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / January 2006Recipe for homemade veggie burgers?
My favorite is Morningstar Grillers, which are pricey. Last night we made black bean veggie burgers from a recipe off the web, and they were squishy and gross. > My favorite is Morningstar Grillers, which are pricey. > > Last night we made black bean veggie burgers from a recipe off the > web, and they were squishy and gross.

The ingredients look fine, but I'm surprised they are baked. You might try making the mixture ahead of time and storing in the fridge for a couple of hours before forming into patties. After forming into patties, heat a tablespoon or so of oil in a frying pan, coat the patties in cornmeal, and add to frying pan one at a time when the oil is hot (it should sizzle). 8-10 minutes per side sounds about right.

I wonder if it would help to refrigerate them overnight before cooking -- or even freeze them? Maybe it would make them firmer. (Well, obviously freezing would, but I don't know whether they'd revert back to "squishy and gross" when cooked.)

We refrigerated them for about 2 hours, but we did this AFTER orming them into patties. And we grilled them on foil rather than pan frying. In any case, this is definitely a Mexican/Southwestern flavor anyway. I want something that I can put pickles, onions, mustard and ketchup on. :-) > >I wonder if it would help to refrigerate them overnight before cooking > >-- or even freeze them?

Thanks! We've used TVP before for things like tacos, burritos. >> >I wonder if it would help to refrigerate them overnight before > cooking [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Something with TVP is probably what you are looking for. I have tried using TVP but it also gets mushy. Then again I didn't pursue it with too much enthusiasm and gave up pretty easily. Signaturethe volleyballchick i can't stand any of them...i must be allergic to soy Bread with tomatoes on top is actually quite tasty. i >Bread with tomatoes on top is actually quite tasty. > >i Not much of a protein source, though.

And not much of a fat source, as well... But at least it tastes good. I wonder if a peanut butter sandwich would qualify for the OP as a "veggie burger". Peanuts are considered to be legumes. i > >>Bread with tomatoes on top is actually quite tasty. > >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I wonder if a peanut butter sandwich would qualify for the OP as a > "veggie burger". Peanuts are considered to be legumes. Mushrooms probably have a better chance. But I'll take avacado on my tomato sandwich. >> On Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:21:29 GMT, Chris Braun > <braun_chris@mindspring.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Mushrooms probably have a better chance.

SignatureRachael 176/114/<119 http://www.justgiving.com/rachaelreynolds >A large portobello mushroom makes a great burger! I can't remember where I got this tip from, but you can use 2 portobello mushrooms to replace the bun, and put something like a quorn burger in the middle, for a low fat low calorie "burger". I'm not sure if this is what you are suggesting here, or just the mushroom on its own - I agree, they're delicious! janice >>A large portobello mushroom makes a great burger! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > janice I've done that with Boca burgers.

One store is near my daughter's home so maybe I can get some on my next trip to see the grandsons.

I go to these stores all the time -- will be going tonight on the way home from the gym. I'll have to look for it. I'm not sure where to look, though. Any thoughts? Is it a frozen food?

But I guess we have more options since I think it's a British product?

Still can't find quorn around here :( Well, that's fair enough, as I don't think we get Boca at all here. I had a look at their site to see what it was. Quorn is almost universally available in the UK. I really quite enjoy the burgers and the sausages, although IMO the Quorn pieces and mince (you probably say ground) Quorn are a bit tasteless and need something with them to add flavour. janice >>A large portobello mushroom makes a great burger! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > janice I just meant replacing the burger with the mushroom in the bun but what a clever idea - if slightly slippery!
