Red cabbage slaw goes nicely with these burgers, either as a side or served directly on the burgers, as does julienned cabbage that's been tossed in a bit of rice vinegar and salt.

Time 45m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch scallions, including 1 inch of the dark green part, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1 serrano chili pepper, finely chopped (with the seeds if you prefer more heat)
4 cups grated carrots (about 8 medium)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons natural, unsweetened peanut butter
Juice of ½ lime
¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
½ cup toasted bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan that has a lid. When hot, add the scallions and cook just until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and serrano pepper and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, salt, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are soft but not mushy.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, peanut butter, and lime juice. Stir in the carrot mixture and the cilantro. Fold in the bread crumbs. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the crumbs to absorb some liquid. Adjust seasonings. Shape into 4 patties.
  • In an oven-safe skillet or nonstick sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the patties and brown 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the burgers are firm and cooked through.

Not sure what went wrong, but my Thai Carrot Burgers turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked them.

Just made the Thai Carrot Burgers and they were a bit bland for my taste. I think I might try adding some more spices next time.

These burgers were a nice change of pace from the usual beef burgers. The carrot flavor was subtle and the burgers were nice and moist. I would definitely make them again.

Not a fan of the Thai Carrot Burgers. The flavor was just okay and the texture was a bit mushy. I think I'll stick to my regular beef burgers.

The Thai Carrot Burgers were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or apple.
