Beet Burger With Citrus Caper Aioli Food

BEET BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oven to 400 F. Add 3/4 cup of water to a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in rice, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Set aside to cool.
• Add quartered shallot and quartered beet to a food processor. Pulse a few times until mixture resembles rice. Add black beans and cooled cooked rice. Continue pulsing until mixture is mostly pureed, but still slightly chunky. Scrape batter into a large bowl.
• Stir in egg, breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir until combined.
• Form into 4 equal sized patties or 8 smaller slider patties.
• Put burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Flip and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can also pan fry these in a skillet or cast iron pan.
• Sandwich cooked patties in seeded rolls. Top with arugula and drizzle with a tahini or tzatziki sauce.

BEET BURGER WITH CITRUS-CAPER AIOLI

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and saute until slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Add the brown rice, beets, walnuts, yellow raisins, granulated garlic and cooled onions to a food processor and pulse about 10 times, until the mixture is ground similar to ground beef. Transfer to a bowl and add the eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Mix by hand until uniform, then tightly form into 4 patties.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. Gently add the patties to the oil and sear on each side until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes a side.
• Place the patties on 2 to 3 Bibb lettuce leaves. Dollop a bit of Citrus-Caper Aioli on top and serve.
• Mix the mayonnaise, capers, honey mustard and orange zest and juice in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper.
