I decide to give these a try but without the oil added at the Planta Restaurant in Toronto. The original recipe calls to fry the required mushrooms in oil and fry the burgers in oil until a crust forms and then finish in a 450ºF oven for 10-15 minutes to cook through. I skipped the oil and airfried my first Planta burger a a test. That's when I decided thinner would be better for my purposes.
The "raw" burgers. I can probably get 8-10 burgers out of these six that I made.
I added Good Foods Queso Dip to the top rather than make my own cheese sauce because this commercially made stuff is pretty darned good.
Good Foods Queso Dip ingredients:
Cauliflower
Red Bell Peppers
Water
Almond Butter
Apple Cider Vinegar
Red Onion
Lemon Juice
Garlic
Sea Salt
Nutritional Yeast
Chia Protein (whatever that is)
Ground Cumin
Ground Turmeric
Cayenne
My finished Planta Burger topped with Queso dip, charred tomatoes and caramelized onions (my contribution)
Planta Burgers
Ingredients:
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup cooked lentils (green or brown)
1 pound baby bella mushrooms, chopped and sautéed in a non stick skillet. No oil.
1 small beet, grated
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 T tapioca starch
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Cayenne or chili pepper flakes to taste (I used 1.5 tsp chipotle powder)
Directions:
Mash chickpeas with a fork
Process separately - mashed chickpeas, lentils, mushrooms, black beans and oatmeal in a food processor. Pulse each to a coarse mixture. Add each mix to a large mixing bowl.
To the mixtures add grated beets, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, salt, pepper and cayenne or chili flakes, finrly chopped parsley, and rosemary.
Mix well with hands.
Check seasoning. Add more heat if necessary.
Form patties. You'll get 6 - 10 depending on how large you make them. Smaller and flatter is probably better.
Let rest in fridge for an hour or two to firm up before cooking
Air fry until a crust forms on the outside and the patties are cooked through.
Alternately, fry in a non stick or cast iron skillet over med to med high heat until a crust forms on each side. Finish in a 450ºF oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
Assembly:
from bottom to top:
Whole Wheat bun bottom
Bean or tofu based no oil vegan mayo
Green or red leaf lettuce
Dill pickle strips
Burger
Caramelized onions
Charred tomatoes
WFPB cheese sauce (I used Good Foods plant-based Queso Dip)
Yellow mustard
Whole wheat bun top
Airfried french fries, sweet potato fries or polenta fries will go great with these
