Mediterranean veggie burgers are my all-time favorite veggie burger recipe. These don’t pretend to be meat. They have their own unique flavor with a nod to the Mediterranean Sea.
Make these as burgers and serve with sauce and a nice soft roll, or prep as small patties with sauce as an appetizer. This recipe is good for 4 burger-size servings, or double it for a party.
Note: Give or take on the various measurements for the Mediterranean Veggie Burger ingredients to your liking. This recipe is quite flexible.
Ingredients:
BURGER:
- 2 cans cannellini beans
- 1/2 cup chopped artichokes (I use marinated)
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped green olives
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
- 4 Tablespoons flour or cornstarch (I use Pamela’s Gluten Free Flour)
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil for cooking
SAUCE:
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon chopped capers
BREAD:
- big soft rolls (gluten free if necessary)
TOPPINGS (IF DESIRED):
- crisp lettuce or spinach
- avocado
Directions:
1. Rinse the beans in a fine mesh strainer with cold water and add to a large mixing bowl.
2. Mash the beans to create a paste.
3. Mix in the chopped artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, olives, parsley, and flour. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Form the dough into a patty and fry in a skillet on medium/low with heated olive oil.
5. Cook until both sides have browned. Sometimes I need to break the patties into more of a hash to get it all to cook through, and it tastes fine that way too.
