ROOT VEGETABLE PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except oil in a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet then drop 4 mounds of vegetables using about 1/2 of the veggie mix into the pan and flatten each mound a bit. Cook patties 3 to 4 minutes on each side, drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining oil and vegetables to make 8 patties, total. Serve at room temperature.

DOUBLE PATTY VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• For the special sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, pickle juice, garlic powder, paprika and a pinch each of salt and pepper and set aside.
• For the burgers: Add the black beans, beets, garlic powder, onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the panko, rice, Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke and pulse just until the mixture starts to come together. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir until thoroughly combined. Using wet hands, form 8 patties and place on a plate.
• Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the patties and cook for about 4 minutes. Flip the patties, top with the cheese, if you like, and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Cook until patties are hot and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes more.
• To assemble, spread each bottom bun with a thin layer of the special sauce and top with some of the pickles and onions. Cover with a patty, followed with some lettuce and repeat the process with the remaining sauce, pickles, onions, patties and lettuce. Top with the top bun.

INDIAN-SEASONED VEGETABLE PATTIES

Steps:

• Steam the beans and carrots, covered, until very soft, slightly salted water. Stir occasionally and make sure there is enough water to keep them from scalding until they are tender-soft.
• Drain off any excess water.
• Combine all ingredients except oil and combine well in a food processor or mash together by hand.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as per your preference. (You may add some green chillies or more garam masala if you prefer more heat, or more mango powder if you want it tangy).
• Divide into equal portions and shape into 3/4 inch patties, and chill for a few minutes to help them firm up better.
• Heat oil, add patties, and brown undisturbed for 1-2 minutes before flipping over.
• Cook for 1 minute periods on each side until they are crisp golden brown on the outside.
• If desired, garnish with lemon wedges and serve with a green dipping chutney on the side.
• (I have made this and included some leftover boiled mung dal in the potato mixture, which works rather well in this - I am sure any lentil would work equally great as well, it is a recommended addition).
