How to Make Houston S We Have A Veggie Burger

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked brown rice, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup chopped mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup chopped prunes (pitted), 1/4 teaspoon minced jalapeños (or more, to taste), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Form the mixture into 15 patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Place each patty between two squares of parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the patties to firm up.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Bake patties for 20-25 minutes per side, or until heated through and slightly browned. Alternatively, grill patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side.
  8. **Glaze (adjust to taste):** While the patties are cooking, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon molasses in a small bowl.
  9. Brush the glaze onto the patties during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  10. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
