HOUSTON'S RESTAURANT COPYCAT VEGGIE BURGERS



Houston's Restaurant Copycat Veggie Burgers image

This is a recipe I am slowly trying to clone. So far, this is the closest I've come. I'm not so sure Houston's uses an egg white, but I added one to help bind the mixture together. Also, the cheese is optional. Houston's definitely grills their buns in butter, so that's probably another reason why their burgers are so good. If you try this and have any tips for me, please let me know. Thanks!! P.S. Thanks for the reviews. I don't have premium (yet) and can't email you all thank yous, but I'm reading the reviews and appreciate the input.

Time 53m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 cup brown rice, cooked
6 -8 brown button mushrooms, chopped
1/4 cup oatmeal, lightly cooked
1/4 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 jalapeno, chopped (fresh or pickled)
1 small beets or 1 medium beet, roasted
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons flax powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 dried prunes or 4 figs, soaked, drained to soft, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix the first 4 ingredients for the sauce and set aside. For the burger, add all ingredients to a food processor, plus half the sauce and lightly blend until all ingredients are well blended and thick. Form mixture into patties and place on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Can take up to 4 hours, so prepare in advance. Freezing the patties will help keep their shape while cooking.
  • You can fry these in a pan in coconut oil usually about 4 minutes on each side. Add the sauce once you flip the burgers over as it makes the pan sticky. Add cheese if desired. I haven't tried, but I would consider broiling them in the oven too.
  • Serve with condiments, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion on a sourdough bun.
  • You can also throw in extra ingredients like shredded zucchini, carrot or pepper to add zing and different flavor to the burger. These are high water content vegetables so you may need to adjust flax, rice combination.

HOUSTON'S WE HAVE A VEGGIE BURGER



Houston's We Have a Veggie Burger image

If you're a vegetarian, this is hands-down the best burger you'll have. Even meat eaters order this one at Houston's. The best thing about this burger is that it doesn't taste like a burger (I hate anything pretending to be meat), and it also doesn't taste like oats or bread between a bun. (Like so many other veggie burgers). This is not an exact recipe, but it's a version of what our chef friend from Houston's gave us. We have tweaked it to the recipe listed here using all of the Houston's ingredients. Careful with the JalapeƱos or it can get way too spicy. Caution with the prunes too, or it can end up tasting like jam which is just gross. As for the glaze, we tend to wing it every time so if anyone has the units for this, let us know. The cooking time and temp is also something we just watch for each batch. So basically, these are delicious but still in progress. There is no egg in their recipe!
