Number Of Ingredients 17

1 c (8 oz) Minnesota hand-harvested, wood-parched wild rice, uncooked
3 c low-sodium vegetable stock.
Patties
3 extra large eggs, whisked
2 rounded tsp Jax Seasoning or other all-purpose seasoning
(Jax's, available at Lunds, includes salt, onion, garlic, paprika, sugar, black pepper, curry powder, and turmeric)
1 tbsp pure olive oil, Canola oil, or other neutral oil
1 c grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 c (3 oz) crushed saltine soda crackers
8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
oil to brush on the griddle
Burgers
8 multi-grain hamburger buns, split
garlic mayonnaise
alfalfa sprouts
roma tomatoes, sliced
red onions, sliced

Steps:

  • 1.The night before, prepare the wild rice according to the instructions on the box, substituting the vegetable stock for the water. Cool in the refrigerator overnight. 2.When you're ready for burgers, prepare the buns and burger toppings. Split the buns, spread a layer of garlic mayonnaise on the top half of the bun, then place a pinch or two of sprouts and two slices of tomato on top of the garlic mayonnaise. Lay out the bottoms of the buns on a serving tray. 3.Make the patties. In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs, Jax Seasoning, and olive oil. 4.With a rubber spatula, mix in the cheddar cheese until combined. Mix in the cooked and cooled wild rice, then the crushed crackers. 5.Scoop out a ½ cup of the wild rice mixture, form it into a patty, and place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. The patties are very crumbly and delicate at this stage. Repeat for remaining 7 patties. 6.Brush a cast-iron griddle with oil, then heat to medium. 7.Using a pancake turner, carefully place each patty on the griddle and cook for 3 minutes. 8.Turn each patty carefully with the pancake turner. Cover each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese, then cover with a lid (or close the cover of the grill) to melt the cheese. Cook for another 3 minutes. 9.Remove patties from heat and slide each on the bottom half of the whole grain bun. 10.Serve with a cold beverage. Situate yourself in front of the electric fan for a Duluth-style breeze.
