Recipe: Apple Burgers

Posted on May 30, 2011

Apparently hell hath frozen over.

I am finally posting the recipe for these Apple Burgers after talking about them, taunting you {and myself} for ~~weeks~~ months, and then not having a decent camera to document their gloriousness.

Hey. At least I got it up in time to celebrate the official beginning of summer and the beginning of burger season.

Enjoy it. Devour it. Make it every night this week, for all I care. Just make sure you have a great Memorial Day, m’kay.

Apple Burgers

Ingredients:

1 granny smith apple, grated
1 16-oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup panko {or bread crumbs}
1/4 cup ground flax meal
1 tbs dried parsley
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
safflower oil {or other favorite cooking oil}

Directions:

Grate apple {I did with skin still on, though you could always peel the apple first and then grate}. Squeeze out juice, reserving liquid and set aside.
In food processor, pulse cannellini beans and reserved apple juice {approximately 2 tbs} until smooth.
Combine bean puree, grated apple, onions, and remaining ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
Form mixture into patties.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes, until lightly browned.
Serve atop your favorite bun, with your favorite accoutrements, and with a heaping side of veggies. Enjoy.

For your reference:
This recipe is vegetarian and vegan. It is also nightshade free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, cinnamon free, and contains no msg.
