Time for a burger? Time for a noonburger!

Time for a burger? Time for a noonburger!

The new campaign of noon by Nikolopoulou Foods SA is now on air.

Noonburgers offer a rich, indulgent burger experience that stands confidently alongside the classic burger—or even goes beyond it. We focus on juicy texture, bold flavor, and the ultimate comfort food feeling, while also highlighting the values of modern nutrition.

The Falafel Burger with its authentic falafel taste, the Green Burger with vegetables, legumes & quinoa, and the Genius Burger with plant-based protein are three delicious and unique options that you can now easily enjoy at home with the people you love.

As the burger (patty) category continues to grow, the company has developed these three flavorful propositions to expand consumers’ taste options. Noonburgers prove that burgers can be… different.

Watch the new spot here.

The creation of high-quality and innovative products requires equally high-quality and innovative tools. In this spirit, Nikolopoulou Foods and the Athanasios C. Laskaridis Public Benefit Foundation, through The People’s Trust organization, donated a modern freeze-drying machine to Myrovolos Organics for the development of a new, pioneering product — an herbal blend in cube form. The product aspires to become a point of reference in the field of functional beverages, winning over the Greek, European, and global market.

The new product is the result of close collaboration between business and scientific expertise. It was created through the company’s partnership with the University of the Aegean and the Department of Nutrition and Food Science.

The delivery and inauguration of the machine took place on Friday, December 12, at noon, at the Myrovolos Organics facilities in Chalkios, Chios. Representing Nikolopoulou Foods was the Marketing Manager, Yannis Sozos, who symbolically cut the ribbon of the machine, stating that “this initiative is not a form of charity, but part of a framework of entrepreneurial, intergenerational, and female solidarity.”

The organization “A Woman Can Be,” which supports the empowerment of women entrepreneurs in agrifood, was represented by Vanessa Archontidou and Angela Pantazi. Also present were business partners and friends of the company, as well as representatives of the local community, including Chios MP Stavros Michailidis, Deputy Regional Governor Nikos Nychtas, President of the Chios Chamber of Commerce Pantelis Legatos, President of the Chalkios Cultural Association Stamatia Vavylousaki, and Antonis Kalitsis, representing Mediterra from the Mastic Research Center — all of whom contributed decisively to the experimental stages of developing the new product.

Genius Burgers with lemon risotto, peas & corn

Genius Burgers with lemon risotto, peas & corn

Genius Burgers with lemon risotto, peas & corn

  • SERVINGS 4-6
  • PREPARATION 10 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

For the risotto
  • 1500 ml vegetable broth
  • 2 + 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150 g leek, thinly sliced
  • 400 g arborio rice
  • 60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried coriander, powdered (optional, see tip)
  • 250 ml hot water
  • 140 g frozen peas
  • 120 g frozen corn
  • nutritional yeast for serving (optional)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bake the burgers according to the package instructions.
  2. Put the broth in a pot and bring to a simmer at a temperature that keeps it very hot but not boiling.
  3. In a large, deep frying pan, heat the two tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat. Sauté the leeks for 10 minutes (or until soft enough), stirring constantly.
  4. Add the rice, stir for a minute, add the lemon, salt, pepper and coriander and stir for another minute.
  5. Pour two tablespoons (about a cup total) of hot stock into the pan and stir until all is absorbed. Continue adding a tablespoon (half a cup) at a time, stirring almost constantly, and do not add more stock until all is absorbed. If necessary, reduce the heat to medium during cooking.
  6. Before adding the last ladle of broth, add the peas and corn (they do not need to be thawed) and top with the broth. Stir and continue in the same way, adding as much hot water as needed, one ladle at a time. We want the rice to be cooked but still firm to the bite (it will take about 25-35 minutes). The risotto should be quite liquid since it will continue to thicken as it cools. Add the third ladle of olive oil and stir.
  7. Serve the burgers immediately with the risotto, sprinkling with nutritional yeast if desired.
Tip

The coriander gives a special flavor and deliciousness, but if we are not sure we like it, we can omit it.
