Vegetarian burger cooking tips
The two recipes above are examples for making veggie burgers. If you want to try a recipe with different ingredients, go ahead. However, do not let you mix them wrong. Therefore, let's take a look at the following tips!
1. Processed sticking tricks
According to Joni Marie Newman, starchy grains will absorb more moisture and therefore they can help stick burger preparations together. Newman suggests using brown rice or wheat. Wheat (quinoa) may be harder to stick to, but it's worth a try because of its high nutritional value.
2. Dried herbs
Fresh herbs are sure to taste good, but to help your burgers hold their shape, use dry spices. Newman, who is a supporter of fresh herbs, even says that dried herbs work better for this.
3. Binder
Eggs are a natural binder for vegetarians, and on average their use is not a problem. Also, if you want to use mayonnaise, make some homemade mayonnaise.
4. Processed without meat
Compared to beef, chicken, or even seafood burgers, veggie burgers have very little fat content. So, to prevent this artificial "meat" from drying out on the grill, Newman prefers to place the veggie burger in aluminum foil, which is basically just steaming.
