Fake-Fry Broccoli Burger on a Portobello Mushroom Cap | Recipes | Kosher.com

Step 1

Place frozen veggies on a metal cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.

Step 2

Remove from oven, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and cool completely.

Step 3

Sauté an onion in one tablespoon of oil until golden. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 4

Once veggies are cool, place broccoli and cauliflower in a cheesecloth or thin towel and squeeze out excess liquid.

Step 5

Place squeezed out veggies and sautéed onions and garlic in a food processor fitted with an S blade. Pulse a few times to create small pieces. Don’t over-pulse or you will end up with creamed veggies. Place mixture in a bowl, add eggs, and mix.

Step 6

Then, in a separate bowl, combine flour blend, flax meal and spices to create a seasoned crumb. Add half a cup of crumbs to the batter and mix to combine. At this point, you’re ready to make patties.

Step 7

Line a metal baking pan with parchment paper and spray with oil.

Step 8

For broccoli burgers, measure 1/3 cup of batter. Oil your hands or gloves and form the measured scoop into a burger. Place the burger in the seasoned crumbs and toss more of the crumbs on the top and sides to coat the burger all over.

Step 9

Place the coated burger on the parchment paper and spray the top with oil. Repeat with the remaining batter and crumbs.

Step 10

For breaded broccoli bites, scoop about one to one and a half tablespoons batter and shape to desired bite-size shape. Shaping as round balls is not suggested – rather a flatter oval shape will produce the best texture.

Step 11

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers or bites over with a thin spatula and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Allow burgers/bites to set for 10 minutes before handling to ensure they do not break.

Step 12

Meanwhile, season the portobello caps. Place mushrooms in mixture and allow to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 13

Bake on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

Step 14

Mash avocado, chop tomatoes and herbs, and crumble feta cheese. Combine all together and season.

Step 15

For burgers: Place a mushroom cap on a plate, add one fake-fried broccoli burger, place a generous scoop of guacamole on top of the burger. Serve as is or with a poked sunny runny egg on top.

Step 16

For broccoli bites: Serve bites on a platter with a bowl of feta guacamole for dipping.
