Yield Makes 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups (1/2-inch) chunks seitan
1 cup chopped roasted broccoli
6 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for cooking
Buns and burger toppings (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and mix with a fork until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  • In a food processor, combine the cornstarch slurry, seitan, broccoli, bread crumbs, and salt, and process until there are no more big chunks and everything is thoroughly mixed. It will look like a strange green oatmeal. Transfer to a bowl and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to four days covered.
  • When you are ready for burgers, divide the burger mixture into sixths, shape the portions into rough balls by rolling them in your hands, and gently press them into patties. I like to use a ring mold to make prettier patties, but you probably don't have one of those, and I applaud your rustic sensibility.
  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat with enough oil to slick the pan. When the oil shimmers, place as many patties as will fit comfortably in the pan. Once you see the edges start to caramelize, after about 3 minutes, carefully flip the patties and cook an additional 2 minutes. Put the burgers on buns with whatever toppings make you feel badass, listen to "The Boys Are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy, eat your super-awesome veggie burger, and flip people off from the window.

I love that these veggie burgers are so versatile. I've served them on buns, in wraps, and even over rice. They're always delicious.

These burgers are a great way to use up leftover veggies. I always have a bag of frozen veggies in my freezer, so I can make these burgers anytime.

I've tried a lot of veggie burger recipes, but these are by far the best. They're so moist and flavorful, and they hold together perfectly.

These burgers are a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I love these veggie burgers. They're so much healthier and tastier than the beef burgers I used to eat.

I've made these veggie burgers a few times now and they've always turned out great. They're a lifesaver on busy weeknights.

These burgers are so easy to make and they're so delicious! I love that I can customize them with different toppings. I've tried them with avocado, sprouts, and cheese, and they're all amazing.

I made these burgers for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them, even the meat-eaters. I'll definitely be making them again.

These veggie burgers were a bit dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or sweet potato.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers turned out great! They were a little spicy for my taste, but that's easily adjustable. I served them with avocado and sprouts and they were delicious.
