Your New Go-To Summer Recipe

Summer is around the corner, which means grilling season is heating up! If you’re looking for a new veggie burger recipe to make for your next grill-out, look no further. With a Chef Soraya Bowl and a few other ingredients, you’re minutes away from a rice and bean based burger, fortified with hemp and quinoa. This recipe calls for the Chipotle Bowl for its fiery flavor that pairs well our other ingredients. You can choose the bowl of your choice, however, and make this recipe your own.

Ingredients:

• 2 Chef Soraya Chipotle Bowls
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small white or yellow onion
• 1 can sweet corn
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 1 pasture raised egg or the equivalent plant-based binding agent
• Your choice of cooking oil

Directions:

Step 1:Rehydrate your Chef Soraya bowl. You could also do this step in advance and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. The cooler the bowl and the more time you’ve had to rehydrate it, the better the burgers will stay together while cooking.

Step 2: Sauté two cloves of fresh minced garlic and a diced white onion in olive oil.

Step 3: Once the garlic and onions are mostly cooked, add in the corn. After a few minutes, the corn, onions, and garlic should be beginning to brown and can be removed from the heat.

Step 4: As this is cooling, empty your Chef Soraya bowls into a larger mixing bowl. With either a fork or a masher, lightly crush and blend the rice and beans together.

Step 5: Combine the Chef Soraya Bowls, onions, garlic, and corn, and mix them together with the egg. Eggs work well to keep the ingredients together but there are several plant based alternatives as well. Add breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly.

Step 6: Form patties into your desired size.

Step 7: On the grill or in a pan, cook on each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side. *If the patty isn’t staying together when you attempt to flip it, it’s not ready to flip.

Step 8: Top your Chef Soraya veggie burger with avocado, ketchup, veggies, anything you like. There’s no limit to the flavor combinations you can make with our six unique bowls. Try it out at home and let us know what you think! Enjoy!
