How to Make Bulgur Veggie Burger
- Finely chop 1/2 a medium yellow onion. Sauté half of the chopped onion (1/4 cup) with 1/4 teaspoon salt in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
- Add 1 cup bulgur and 1 1/2 cups water to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until all water is absorbed (15-18 minutes).
- Transfer the cooked bulgur to a large bowl. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed kidney beans and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
- **Food Processor Method:** Pulse the bulgur mixture, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper along with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped onion in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.
- **Hand Method:** Finely chop the remaining 1/2 of the onion. Mash the kidney beans and walnuts together with a fork. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties (about 1/2 cup each).
- Refrigerate the patties for at least 10 minutes (up to 4 hours).
- While the patties chill, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, the zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- **Grill Directions:** Prepare your grill for direct heat cooking over medium-high heat. Preheat a perforated grill sheet for 10 minutes.
- Brush the patties with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill the patties on the preheated grill sheet, covered only if using a gas grill, for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- **Stovetop Directions:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook the patties for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
