Veggie Burger

With New York Fashion Week just having wrapped up, my Instagram feed has been inundated with images of gorgeous clothing and delicious meals.  One of the most popular spots to catch a meal between shows seemed to be by Chloe the plant based diner that puts a vegan spin on comfort food (ie. sweet potato mac and cheese with shitake bacon and kale artichoke dip)… so when Food and Wine did a write up on some of their most popular recipes, I jumped at the chance to whip some of them up.

Servings:
Instructions
  1. Make the sauce by combining tofu, ketchup, mustard, agave and garlic in a blender until smooth. Stir in pickle relish and dill. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate.
  2. Make the burgers by sautéing onion in 2 tablespoons of oil for 6 minutes over moderate heat (until browned), then add garlic and sauté 2 more minutes (until softened).
  3. Scrape onion/garlic mixture into a food processor and add rice, lentils, walnuts, four and basil and pulse until combined (but grains are still visible).
  4. Using lightly oiled hands, make 1/2 inch thick patties with 1/3 cup of the mixture until mixture is gone (should make 8 patties).
  5. Wipe out skillet and heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in it. Fry patties in batches over moderate heat until browned (5 minutes on each side)
  6. To assemble the burgers, spread sauce on the bottom of a toasted bun, top with a patty, veggies and burger bun (or add an extra patty for a double!).

Chickpea Salad

My mom’s egg salad is one of my favorite snacks, but when she whipped this recipe for us, I think we have a new winner in town!  This healthier spin on egg salad, is packed full of veggies (and flavor!) and doesn’t even have you missing out on the fact the main ingredients is MIA (also you lose the smell factor when you sub chickpeas for eggs, which really helps when you bring it for lunch)
