Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
8 large portobello mushroom caps (about 1 pound), cleaned
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 large red onions (about 1 pound), sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 whole-grain hamburger buns
4 thin slices cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 small bunch arugula (about 2 1/2 ounces), washed and dried

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 6 to 8 seconds). In a food processor, puree one-quarter of the garlic (about 1/2 teaspoon), 1 tablespoon thyme, the cannellini beans, and 1 teaspoon oil until smooth. If mixture is too thick to spread, add a bit of water. Season with pepper, and pulse to combine.
  • Combine the remaining garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons oil in a shallow dish. Place the mushroom caps in the garlic mixture, and turn to coat. Season with pepper; drizzle with vinegar.
  • Place onion slices on a plate, and lightly coat each side with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Grill the onions until lightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the onions, and continue grilling until tender and charred on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer onions to a clean plate; cover to keep warm.
  • Working in batches if necessary, place mushrooms on the grill, stem side up. Grill until browned on the first side and juices have begun to collect in the centers, about 5 minutes. Flip mushrooms, and continue cooking until stem side of each cap is browned and center is tender, about 4 minutes more.
  • Split hamburger buns, and place cut side down on grill; cook just until warm and toasted. Spread 1/4 cup bean puree on the bottom half of each bun, and top with 2 grilled mushroom caps. Layer each with sliced cheese, grilled onions, and a small handful of arugula. Top with remaining roll halves, and serve.

We topped these burgers with smoked Cheddar cheese, but you can use another type of cheese, or omit it entirely. To clean the mushroom caps, wipe them with a damp paper towel; do not rinse or soak them because they will remain soggy even after cooking.

Yield makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup cooked or canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
8 large portobello mushroom caps (about 1 pound), stems trimmed
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 large red onions (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into thin rings
Olive oil cooking spray, for onions
4 whole-grain hamburger buns
2 ounces smoked Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced into 4 equal portions
1/2 small bunch arugula (about 2 1/2 ounces), rinsed well and dried

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Make the bean puree: In a food processor, combine one-quarter of the garlic (about 1/2 teaspoon), 1 tablespoon thyme, the cannellini beans, and 1 teaspoon oil; process to form a smooth and spreadable paste. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 teaspoon water. Season with pepper, and pulse to combine. Set aside.
  • Combine the remaining garlic, tablespoon thyme, and oil on a plate or in a baking pan. Place the mushroom caps in the garlic mixture, and turn to coat. Season with pepper; drizzle with vinegar.
  • Place the onion slices on a plate, and lightly coat each side with cooking spray. Grill the onions until lightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the onions, and continue grilling until tender and charred on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a clean plate; keep warm.
  • Place the mushrooms on the grill, stem side up, working in batches if necessary. Grill until browned on the first side and juices have begun to collect in the centers, about 5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, and continue cooking until the stem side of each cap is browned and center is tender, about 4 minutes more.
  • Split the hamburger buns in half, and place cut side down on the grill; cook until warm and toasted. Transfer to a work surface. Spread 1/4 cup bean puree on the bottom half of each bun, and top with 2 grilled mushroom caps. Layer each with sliced cheese, grilled onions, and a small handful of arugula. Top each with matching roll halves, and serve.

MUSHROOM AND BEEF BLENDED BURGERS FOR THE GRILL



Mushroom and Beef Blended Burgers for the Grill image

Not all blended beef and vegetable burgers are sturdy - or flavorful enough - to stand up to the grill. Our version is packed with meaty mushrooms and sweet potato, and is crowned with bold toppings like pepper jack, charred poblanos, pickled jalapenos and a grilled-scallion mayo. A little egg and cornstarch help the patty stay together on its journey on and off the grates, resulting in a juicy burger everyone will love.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 ounces sweet potato, peeled and diced (from 1/2 small sweet potato)
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
1 pound ground beef (20 percent lean)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch scallions (about 6 small)
1 medium poblano, halved lengthwise, stem and seeds removed
1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for the grill grates
4 seeded hamburger buns, split
4 slices pepper jack cheese (about 2 ounces)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
Finely grated zest and juice from 1/2 lime
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices
4 pieces green leaf lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Pulse the sweet potato in a food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 8 pulses. Add to the sweet potato along with the ground beef, egg, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then mix with your hands until combined. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Season each side with a good pinch of salt and a few good grinds of pepper; set aside.
  • Toss the scallions and poblano with the oil. Grill the scallions until lightly charred, turning halfway through with grilling tongs, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Grill the poblano, turning occasionally, until charred all over and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Grill the hamburger buns until lightly toasted and have some grill marks, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Brush the grill grates with some oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook, undisturbed (and with the grill uncovered), until the first side has developed nice grill marks, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers with a metal spatula and continue to cook until well browned all over, about 2 minutes more. Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese, then cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the burger has reached medium doneness, about 1 minute more. Transfer to the bottom bun halves.
  • Thinly slice the scallions and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the mixture on the top bun halves. Thinly sliced the poblano, then divide among the burgers. Top evenly with the pickled jalapenos and lettuce. Sandwich with the top bun halves.
