CALIFORNIA-STYLE VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil over high heat. Stir in spinach; cover and cook until bright green and wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and squeeze dry. Chop.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil, then mushrooms, onion, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute more. Stir in beans, then transfer to a large heatproof bowl; let cool slightly. Add cilantro, spinach, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and lime juice; mash mixture together with a fork or potato masher, leaving some larger pieces. Stir in egg, 1 cup bulgur, and breadcrumbs. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Spread remaining 1/2 cup bulgur on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Form bean mixture into 1/2-cup patties (about 1/2 inch thick); press each side into bulgur to coat. Wipe skillet clean; return to medium heat. Swirl in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and add half of patties. Cook until a deep crust forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook until second sides are crisp and patties are heated through, about 8 minutes more. In last minute of cooking, add cheese and cover; cook until melted. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Repeat with remaining burgers. Spread each roll with Dijonnaise, then top with a patty, avocado, sprouts, and pickles; serve.

CURRIED POTATO VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the burgers: Put the potato on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel. Transfer to a medium bowl; add 1 tablespoon butter, season with salt and pepper and mash with a fork until smooth. Toast the cumin seeds in a large dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour onto a cutting board and crush with the bottom of a measuring cup.
• Heat 1 more tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, carrot, chile, ginger, garlic, curry powder, toasted cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring, until the cauliflower is dry and the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the mashed potato and add the peas; wipe out the skillet and reserve.
• Stir the vegetable mixture together to combine. Add the breadcrumbs and knead with your hands until the mixture comes together. Firmly pack into 4 balls, then shape into four 4-inch-wide patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the tamarind ketchup: Stir together the ketchup and tamarind paste in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook the burgers: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until well browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned and the patties are hot in the center, about 3 more minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the burgers stand about 5 minutes while you prepare the buns (this will help them stay together).
• Toast the buns and spread with the tamarind ketchup. Serve the burgers on the buns with lettuce, red onion and cilantro.
