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.

Easy Burger Pies with Genius Burgers, Mushrooms and Peppers

Easy Burger Pies with Genius Burgers, Mushrooms and Peppers

Easy Burger Pies with Genius Burgers, Mushrooms and Peppers

  • SERVINGS 2
  • PREPARATION 10 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pack Genius Burgers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil + extra for the puff pastry
  • 130 g sliced ​​mushrooms
  • 50 g green pepper, sliced
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp mild mustard
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of freshly ground pepper
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (without animal ingredients)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bake the burgers according to the package instructions and let them cool.
  2. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the mushrooms with the pepper until their liquid evaporates and they soften, about 6-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and add the ketchup, mustard, and salt and pepper (the mixture will be relatively dry). Stir and let cool.
  4. Sauté the mushrooms with the pepper until their liquid evaporates and they soften, about 6-7 minutes.
  5. We roll out the sheet and cut out four circles with a diameter of 14 cm (find a saucer of this size and follow its shape with a knife).
  6. Place each burger in the center of a puff pastry sheet. Carefully spread the mushroom mixture on top. Cover each with another puff pastry sheet and fold the edges down so that they “hug” the burger. Wet the edges of the puff pastry with a little water (using your finger is the easiest way, or a brush) and lift the edges of the bottom puff pastry, pinching them every few centimeters (about like the dough from Cretan “lychnarakia”). Make sure that the dough sticks to where we have put water so that there are no gaps.
  7. Transfer the patties to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Be careful – the dough will not brown very well as we have not brushed it with egg.
  9. Serve as a snack or as a meal with a salad.
