Homemade Impossible Burger

Ingrédients
  

  • 2 cups baby portabella mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 8 ounces tempeh (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup quick cook oats
  • 1 small beet (shredded)
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1/4 cup oil, for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms, olive oil, and salt, and pepper to a small sauté pan. Heat on medium high heat, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms have browned and softened.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the pan and add them to your food processor. Add the rice, tempeh, oats, beets, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, steak sauce, vegetable bouillon, and liquid smoke if you are adding. Process until completely ground with mostly small pieces. Continue to pulse until there are no large pieces. It should look like ground beef.
  • Form the “meat” into four balls and form each of those balls into a patty. Place them on parchment paper while you wait for your griddle to heat up.
  • Heat a griddle or sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the patties. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides and heated through.
  • Remove the patties from the heat and serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.

Notes

  • For serving: 4 burger buns, ketchup, lettuce
  • You can substitute brown rice for the white rice. The rice does not have to be fresh, it can be a day or two old.
  • You can use rolled oats, or steel cut oats instead of instant oats.
  • You can use this ground “meat” for any of your favorite ground beef recipes.

  • You can easily freeze these burgers and enjoy them at a later time. Just freeze the cooked patties in one layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and then throw them in a freezer plastic bag and freeze for up to 3 months.You can also freeze uncooked patties using the same method.
  • Heat them up in a griddle on medium-low heat until cooked through again. You can also microwave them for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • You can grill these burgers on a hot, well-greased grill.
