Paleo Cauli Power Burgers

Veggie burgers that are delicious and filling, without a bean in sight. The 'meatiness' here comes from a combination of seeds and mushrooms, while onion and cauliflower add the heft. The process is simple and freezes well if you'd like to make a larger batch. Load them up as you please - we particularly like these burgers piled high with caramelized onions, tomatoes, and mustard.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 2 cups 'riced' cauliflower (Note 1)
- 10 ounces mushrooms, chopped (we use a blend of cremini and shiitakes)
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 cup kale leaves, chopped
- 3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 6 tablespoons pecan meal (Note 2)
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon mushroom powder (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the coconut oil in a wide pan. Once hot, add the cauliflower, mushrooms, and onions. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have softened. Set aside and let cool.
- Step 2: Once the cauliflower mixture has cooled, transfer it to a food processor. Add in all remaining ingredients. Blend until it balls up and a thick paste has formed. The seeds should be fully broken down and incorporated (reference images above for a visual guide).
- Step 3: Transfer the burger blend to a container and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, to overnight.
- Step 4: Shape the mixture into burger patties and fry in an oiled pan until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Load up your burger however you please. They go especially well with mustard.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: We recommend using fresh, rather than frozen cauliflower 'rice', since frozen cauliflower rice will be more watery. To make your own cauliflower 'rice', you can purchase it pre-made in most grocery stores, or make it yourself using a grater or food processor. Every 2 cups of cauliflower 'rice' is equivalent to about 1/2 a medium head of cauliflower. The final product should resemble small grains of rice. Note 2: Pecan meal is made by blending raw pecans in a food processor until a flour-like consistency is formed. You could also substitute with almond meal here, but the hint of pecans makes these extra special.
