Broccoli Burgers Food

BROCCOLI BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor pulse the fresh broccoli, onion and garlic. Don't over process but should be chopped well. If you are using frozen broccoli make sure to defrost and squeeze out all the excess water. If you are using a combination of both process the onion and fresh broccoli with the garlic first and then add the frozen broccoli. Just pulse a few times after you've added the frozen broccoli.
• In a large bowl, combine the broccoli mixture,egg, cheese, flour and seasonings.
• Form the mixture into 1/2 inch thick patties that are about 4 inches wide. You should get about six burgers from this recipe.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the burgers.
• Cook the burgers for about eight minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
• Transfer to a large paper towel lined plate. Serve warm.

CHICKEN & BROCCOLI BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken with chopped broccoli and cheese (I used an 8oz bag of the Kraft Crumbles).
• Add Montreal Seasoning and form into burgers. I bake them on a non-stick pan so no oil is needed and they still come out crispy (see photos).
• I topped mine with Franks Red Hot sauce because I love that on my turkey and chicken burgers. My husband used BBQ sauce and said it was really good, so whatever condiment makes you happy, try on these burgers or just have them plain.

CHICKPEA-BROCCOLI BURGERS

Steps:

• In small saucepan, bring couscous and water to a boil; turn off heat, cover and let stand until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 10 minutes- Reserve 1 cup couscous and save remaining for another use.
• Meanwhile, steam broccoli until tender, 5 to 7 minutes- Remove from steamer and set aside to cool.
• In medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes- Stir in cumin.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, then line a large cookie sheet with foil, and dust with breadcrumbs.
• In food processor, combine couscous, broccoli, onions, chickpeas and tahini- Process until blended, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl when necessary.
• Transfer mixture to large bowl.
• Gradually add 1/4 cup bread crumbs- Add enough additional bread crumbs until mixture is stiff enough to form into patties but still moist- Season with salt.
• Shape mixture into 3-inch patties (1/2-inch thick).
• Put patties on prepared cookie sheet- Bake until lightly browned on both sides about 50 minutes, turning once halfway.
• They can be served at this point or grilled or broiled until crispy for 1 or 2 minutes per side.
