| Double Double Drive-Thru Burgers - Chloe's Kitchen |
Who needs McDonald's? With this double-decker burger you'll be satiated and satisfied knowing it's so much healthier for you than anything a fast food joint can offer. The burger is made with lentils and walnuts - very hearty! When you combine it with a homemade sweet and tangy sauce it's a perfect duo. You can find this recipe and others in Chloe's Kitchen (buy your copy here).
Burgers:
8 oz. package tempeh (find it at Trader Joe's, with the tofu)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
15 oz. can lentils (rinsed and drained, Goya brand sells these)
1 cup toasted walnuts
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
Sauce:
2/3 cup soft tofu
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon chopped dill
Burger buns (Try Barowsky's - They're vegan-friendly!)
Toppings for the burger - Sliced red onion, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles
Start by steaming the tempeh to remove the bitter taste. Fill a small pot with water and use a steamer basket, break up the tempeh to fit. Steam for 20 minutes.
Cook onions in a large skillet with olive oil, heat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more. Place in food processor.
In a food processor add in tempeh, lentils, walnuts, flour, basil, salt, and pepper (the onions and garlic should already be in there). Blend and pulse until walnuts are a fine crumb and everything mixes together. Take out and make into eight burger patties. If you plan to make the double-decker version like the photo make the patties thin.
Heat the vegetable or canola oil in a large skillet. Pan-fry the burger patties once oil is heated, lighly brown and flip. Add more oil as needed and continue cooking until all patties are nicely browned, move them onto a plate with paper towels to collect excess oil.
For the sauce:
Combine all ingredients except the dill and relish in a blender (not a food processor) and blend until smooth. Move into a bowl, and now add in the dill and relish.
Put it all together! Place a burger patty on a bun and add special sauce, red onions, lettuce, tomato. To make it double add in a bottom bun instead of a top bun and layer again in the same way you made the first one! Open wide :)
