Recipe: Maple Sweet Potato Pecan Burgers with Sweet Onions Adapted from The Tolerant Vegan, Winner of the 2012 No More 'Mallows Contest

Provided by NCSPC

Categories     cook out     dinner     main

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium North Carolina sweetpotatoes (1-1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup chopped kale
1/2 cup dry roasted pecans (chopped (see Note))
Salt
1 Vidalia onion (very coarsely chopped)
Freshly ground black pepper
4 sandwich buns

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° Pierce sweetpotatoes and microwave together until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Mash firmly into measuring cups to make 2 cups; transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 3/4 cup water and the quinoa to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cover, until the water is nearly absorbed and the quinoa appears transparent, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove quinoa from the stove; allow to sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and the cayenne pepper. Add mixture to the mashed sweetpotatoes along with the kale, cooked quinoa, pecans and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix well.
  • Form the mixture into four patties; place on a well-oiled baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, turning once at the halfway point.
  • When the burgers have around 15 minutes left to bake, make the onion topping. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onion; sprinkle with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Cook and stir for 12 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Cook and stir until onions are slightly brown, about 3 more minutes; remove from heat.
  • Transfer burgers to buns and top each with onion mixture.
