Crowd-Pleaser Burgers

MOROCCAN BURGERS

Serves: Up to 6
Total prep & cook time: 60 minutes
Difficulty level: super easy

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1kg of coarsely minced meat from beef lamb, pork or chicken with a fat content of approx. 30% (chicken 20%)
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup of roughly chopped coriander
  • 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of ground coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, optional
  • 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs

METHOD:

  1. With your hands knead all ingredients into a bowl together and shape 4 or six burger patties of the thickness of your thumb and slightly larger than your bun.
  2. Place onto the griddle or flat plate of your BBQ (medium-high heat) and cook for approximately three minutes on each side and turning it carefully with a scraper rather than tongs.
  3. Check the cooking stages/temperatures where a beef or lamb burger is perfect when cooked medium to well and pork at medium well and chicken at well done.
  4. When cooked remove from the heat to avoid overcooking which will result in dry and chewy burgers.
  5. Cut the buns in half and shortly before your burgers are ready toast the buns (first cut side down) on the BBQ on both sides and start assembling them.

LENTIL BURGERS (Vegan friendly)
Serves: Up to 6
Total prep & cook time: 180 minutes
Difficulty level: super easy

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup brown lentils, rinsed, strained and picked through
  • 1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon low-sodium vegetable broth or water
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large red onion (half finely chopped for Pattie mixture, and half thinly sliced for burger build)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs Please note that I swapped Breadcrumbs for a combo of almond meal and gluten free flour.
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
  • Cooking spray
  • 6 whole-grain vegan hamburger buns
  • Baby arugula, basil, roasted red bell peppers and spicy mustard, for serving, optional

Note: if the mixture is too moist, add some extra almond meal to bind it together

METHOD:

  1. Bring the lentils and 1 3/4 cup of the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer until the lentils are fully softened and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon broth and mash well with a potato masher. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and walnuts to the pan mixture before adding the spinach, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and cumin and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt to the lentils and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Form the mixture into six 4-inch patties and spray with cooking spray on each side. Grill until nice grill marks form, about 3 minutes per side. Place the patties in the buns with the sliced onion and other toppings, as desired, and serve.
